This is a house with great potential - and a good location - however the photos don’t give an accurate picture of the actual decorative state and maintenance of the house and it’s facilities. Everything is very dilapidated and in need of an update - and in the description on Airbnb there is no mention that the house is over 4 floors - with very steep and slippery wooden steps - which I think is a vital piece of information - as our party had some people with some mobility problems - and if we had known we would have probably picked somewhere different. I think this would also be a problem for people with young children - so this should be in the description .
In general the state of the house was shabby and uncared for and as a group we felt the price being charged was for luxury accommodation and what we got was a shared student house experience - which made us feel cheated. If it was actually as the photos made it appear (which we could only assume were taken when the house was first done up) we would have been very happy and pleased to pay the price we were charged. As it is we would not stay again and would not recommend it to anyone as it is. If it was bought up to a good and safe standard - and the description includes a warning that it is over 4 floors - then that would be acceptable.
I use Airbnb a lot and have never had reason to complain before - and wonder if this is a case of an absent landlord who is unaware of how much the property has become run-down and in need of repair?
If so - I hope this review helps - and means that all these issues will be addressed - starting with updating the photos and the description.
