- Hygiene(bathroom, mainhouse)
- Lingering smell in the summer house
- Bad door lock(summer house)
- Carpet(summer house, i'm told this is the norm in the UK so this is just a matter of preference i guess)
- False advertising? Needs more pictures of the actual Summer House.
Good friendly host. Let us use his convertor to charge our cell phones and when we pointed out one of our towels was falling apart we instantly received a new one.
Overall, this turned out to be a little bit of a let down tho. The pictures on the airbnb profile suggest a much cleaner and overall more "luxueus" summer house. I've suggested to Christian to update it as the summer house is quite scruffy and not at all in line with the pictures of the main house.
The biggest complaints goes toward the overall hygiene of the bathroom in the mainhouse, wich probably hadn't been cleaned fully for more then a few weeks and a persuasive smell lingering the summer house. I'm guessing it was natural from the wood and the undergrowing grass and greens as the summer house didn't show signs of mold or anything worse. There's no way to truly vent out the room as the windows are all one sided and didn't seem to be able to open.
There should also be some more options to dry out your towel and hang up your clothing as there were virtually none in the summer house aside from 1 chair.
The location was nice and quiet but do take note, by bus it's also a good 75 to 90 minutes away from london center, especially in the morning. If you take the train, it's probably 40 to 45, but that's 6 pounds compared to 1,25 by bus. Pro tip for breakfast near Crystal Palace, check out the Crystal Pantry Cafe on Church Road, very cheap and good.
