This is an unusual note to write about our stay. Before, I go into the detail, I would like to first thank Z and Alex for their kindness and understanding. There were a number of problems with our stay which had not been previously pointed out to the host, which if we had known ahead of time we would have chosen a different location. Two days into our stay my wife and I decided to move to another hotel. However, Z and Alex did issue a refund (less the cleaning deposit). The main problems were there was no hot water, the shower was particularly good, the wifi did not work on the top floor, there was no consistent heating in the room which was mostly cold and there was no iron or ironing board (which presented a problem because my wife and I had a number of dinners we were attending).
Something which was unusual for me that I had not experienced before with other airbnb hosts was the poor communication before we arrived. I had sent two messages to the host but did not receive any reply...not even a hello. However on the day of our journey we did receive a long message with all the instructions and Sandra the live in Artist was amazing, kind, present, and wonderful to be around.
One final point, was that in the images on the hosts page, show lots of plants, but none of these were in the room. So our experience and excitement about the space went from warm, excitement being surrounded by wonderful plants, to a cold, stark and empty room.
We booked the room based upon the images and wonderful reviews, but unfortunately this was not our experience.
