This is a very charming accommodation. The location is fairly ideal and the size is also very nice. Despite what else I will say, we enjoyed our stay and I wouldn’t mind staying here again.
The house itself can best be described as “lived-in.” The owners clearly contract with Veeve but it feels sort of like you’re staying in a friend’s house. Take that how you will.
Dealing with a company instead of an individual has its pros and cons. They were super responsive but they also did things like charged us £39 to have a two hour later check-out. Which seems like a stupid thing a company does. Also, they weren’t entirely familiar with the house it seemed like. They were unaware that there was a dryer and when I checked in at the unit with the contact they said “We’re aware that some of the light bulbs are out.” Okay…? It didn’t make sense if they were aware that they wouldn’t have fixed it ahead of time. Or if they weren’t going to fix it, why were they telling me? It’s as if they could say “We’re aware that the floor is made of lava, this is less than ideal, yes, but we don’t intend to do anything about it.”
Our only real issue, though, is that the drains to the bathrooms have a distinct mildew odor. After the first day we wondered if the towels needed to be rewashed but it didn’t solve the issue. We also found a mop in the closet that smelled foul but the drains we settled on as being the main culprit.
Anyway, good unit. It worked for us. Veeve was responsive but I probably would have preferred to be dealing with an individual.
