although Gareth was very accommodating and prompt with his responses, the location and neighbourhood of the property is good; where public transport is easy to use, we still ran into a few issues staying at his place.
some small issues included no clear instructions on how to access the laundry, the bed being a tad bit too small for two people, the bed sheets having small holes in them, and the floors being sticky and unswept. these issues are easy to overlook, however we were unprepared for the obvious rodent problem this property has. on our second to last night, we were woken up at 3:30AM by mice eating through the bag of rubbish we had (we were not provided a bin, just bin liners). this is very disappointing as gareth himself is a lovely host and there are positives to the property as a whole, but unfortunately this amplifies all the minor issues we had at the start…
