Big house but equally big issues.
When we arrived the alarm was bleeping every 30 seconds. The host sent a handyman who arrived some hours later but by then our evening plans were scuppered. The second shower didn’t work. The handyman came out again and managed to get the water to flow but the pipes shook so loudly we were afraid use it. 5 adults and 1 shower in a clammy July wasn’t fun. We had an infestation of bugs and ants in the kitchen. The outdoor bins were overflowing with litter all over the ground. The entire house needs a deep clean. The floors were filthy, dust and cobwebs everywhere and layers of grime on doors and skirtings. Not a pleasant experience at any time but given the Covid situation it was really unacceptable. We tried to find alternative accommodation but London was totally booked up or we would not have stayed.
The host did try to sort problems but I think it’s clear they are a remote host who probably has no idea how neglected this property is.
