My stay here was so awful that I had to find somewhere else for the last day. I was polite to the host, but the bad review they have (and emphatically disagreed with, leading me to ignore it) is completely accurate. I feel they don't advertise the property as noisy, even though they know the boiler is loud there is no mention of the timing meaning I was woken up on Sunday at 8.30, on 5hrs sleep, completely ruining my outing with a friend I haven't seen for two years.
You can also hear any footfall above the bedroom and their tv. I don't want to talk to the host as they seem extremely defensive. Perhaps they don't understand just how awful their property is - I sleep with silicone earplugs in and it was still horrible and impossible to sleep through. Then again, they did say when I messaged them they knew about it - So why not just mention it and adjust the time instead of ruining people’s hard earned break not allowing them to sleep?
I requested a refund from them to allow them to at least act in good in faith and instead they appear to have left a “revenge” review and then have sent a rude message accusing me of leaving their property in a “filthy mess”. I returned to pick up some things after staying there one night and leaving that day - hence there were 3 items of washing up, a couple of things left in the fridge and bathmat on bathroom floor - hardly filthy, I just wasn’t able to clean as travel to and then from theirs on that day (not planned) meant I had to rush to get my train.) They are also trying to lie and say that stayed both nights which isn’t true. Nasty people. They seem friendly, but the type to screw you over and get theirs with a smile, so beware! Any issues and they will attack you for complaining.
