The house itself is lovely and spacious with some nice original features and tasteful decor. It's in a great location, check in was straightforward and it had good parking too.
However... Benjamin is not an individual host, he is a contact name for a bigger property management company and much of the communication is clearly automated. The necessary info is all there but when you contact them with a specific query the replies are impersonal, are not relevant and don't help at all.
The house was filthy... to the point of old food and wet wipes in the lounge, old food in the oven and even hair in the fridge!! Aside from this, thick dust and cobwebs on the banisters, skirting and under the beds. Such a shame, especially considering the high cleaning fee and the damage waiver I had to sign to complete the booking.
In addition, having read the previous review, Benjamin said that a number of the issues raised would be addressed - they hadn't been! The panel is still missing from under the stairs and the TV still doesn't work. I didn't want to try the toaster due to the lack of cleanliness (we didn't use the kitchen at all).
I complained upon arrival but sadly had to escalate with Airbnb due to poor communication from Benjamin but by then it was too late to relocate.
