Being honest, I was disappointed with the stay at Jonathan’s. Even before the stay he seemed very untrusting and limited our excitement of the trip since we were nervous about doing something wrong. During the stay, Jonathan messaged us a fair bit and we didn’t feel like we had our own space which, in my opinion, is a key part of staying somewhere new. We also were playing music on a speaker at 2pm on the Saturday and received a message from Jonathan saying we were too loud.
When we arrived, we weren’t able to check in on time as the cleaners were still there and we were told to go for a walk to pass time. We weren’t offered anything in return for this enforced late check in. We also were asked to check out early to which we politely declined as we had arranged transport at the pre-arranged check out time. The cleaners still turned up earlier than we’d asked.
The property was clean and tidy. However there were a lot of flies in communal areas (particularly the bathroom) which was a bit off putting. There were also the remains of a joint left on the window sill. However, I would say that the aesthetics of the property match the pictures on the listing.
Also please be aware that you can hear everything from the neighbours upstairs (including hoovering, talking and walking around) and this did disturb our sleep.
The location of the property was exactly what we wanted and it had the potential to be great. It was a shame that the above mentioned points let our experience down.
