The first thing that seemed suspicious was that Julia told me that half the rental would be unavailable during my stay after I could actually cancel the booking for a full refund.
I walked in and had to rehang the sliding closet doors, was told that the lock smith would have to be called if I locked the door properly, and there was a problem with the boiler.
I was willing to forgo this, after all; things happen! Though it was one thing after another such as burn holes in the couch that were hidden under scattered cushions, fallen panels behind the sofa. Next was the loose floor boards in the hall, leading to the kitchen with the broken floor tiles which were very dangerous and my cousin cut her foot.
Moving onto the first bathroom where the tiles were coming off the bath. The second bathroom the shower was clogged and the water was coming from all around the ceiling, everywhere but the actual shower, the toilet seat was broken and so badly repaired someone could hurt themselves.
The property manager whom tried to come fix things without knocking or for-warning entered the property while we were not there, broke the shower while we were out. We were left without a proper working shower. The property manager also turned off the boiler while I was gone. (She probably doesn’t even know she did this.)
Julia was completely dismissive of all our complaints and completely unresponsive after I vocalised them. Though she gave me all the money I could possibly request back because she “wanted to get rid of us as quick as possible” - if that’s not an admission I don’t know what is.
Beware!!!
