Alex’s place is really nicely furnished and has a spacious kitchen/diner as well as a separate reception. Unfortunately there were some accumulated spring cleaning issues that had not been attended to - the bathroom sink was blocked, the dishwasher filter full of gunk and broken glass and the cooker tray was covered in grease. There were lots of house plants but many of them were dead or dying. Additionally there was no clothes dryer as advertised and a wet bath mat left in the washing machine. These points are not ones that should spoil your stay especially as we unblocked the sink and cleaned the dishwasher (we drew the line at the oven!). Of more relevance to some guests - the stairs are quite steep and have no hand rail and the only shower is in the bath (there being only one bathroom) which presented accessibility issues for my mum who had had a hip replacement about a year ago and thought both needed to have hand rails. My own main bugbear about this place is that it is not actually managed by the host but a company on behalf of the host. This means any issues with the accommodation I raised ie the hygiene points and clothes dryer and dead plants were not actually resolved but left to me to manage. All I got were apologies from the company but that’s not much help.
