The flat is lovely, the pictures at totally accurate. The place is clean a well presented and the location is great.
There are a number of reviews which have been left which highlight a few issues with the property and I understand why. I message Julian asking if I could have additional people over (9 in total) the purpose was that me and my friends, we having a get together for the first time in 18months and we didn’t feel comfortable going out to pubs etc due to covid. I was warned time and time again about noise and not having a party. I was very clear what we were going to be doing and I said I didn’t want to be set up to fail. Even though I followed the rules, I have no idea if my review is going to be good or bad. Me and my friends spent most of the time on the terrace with no music (inside or outside) just having a good catch up. Me and a couple of friends sat up in the living room until 2:30am chatting like we would do in our houses, again I don’t know if this is breaking the rules? We treated the place like we would out home and cleaned up after so would hope not. We paid £700 for 9 people to stay, I think if the property can hold 9 adults then it needs to be acceptable to make the noise of 9 adults. Again I don’t believe we were loud but I have no idea what a review about me will say.
Communication although feeling threatening was fine through out, apart from when I was checking in. I contacted Julian 3 times before and 4 times on the day to get the check in information. He replied the following day to say it was in the check in details. The check in details also say that you will be given a code, I was totally in the dark if I was missing a code, fortunately it was ok.
There are cameras in the property, watching the stairs and the living room and god knows where else! This is so disconcerting. We weren’t doing anything wrong but being filmed in a home is very uncomfortable.
Overall, the stay was set up with a lot of fear and the communication could have been better. Being filmed is utterly unacceptable. The place is lovely and to a high standard but it is a lot of drama and is very expensive.
