Pre arrival - Jon would always reply to any questions we had and be helpful, most times he is blunt and often only got one word responses, however always answered our questions.
Arrival - Jon was welcoming and friendly. He showed us the bedroom and bathroom, unfortunately he didn’t show us how the shower unit worked and didn’t inform us that the shower was faulty/damaged before our visit and has since made attempts to accuse us for the previous damage to the shower unit.
Jon explained the protocol with the door and how the locking system works and was very flexible in regards to when we can return back to the property following a night out. He also kindly answer all our questions and directed us how to get to the Etihad stadium.
Bedroom - bedroom was exactly how is looks in the pictures, very spaces, modern/stylish, bed was comfy however rather nosey. The bedroom offered everything you’d need for a stay.
Bathroom - bathroom is a basic bathroom, unfortunately the shower unit was faulty/damaged and only came out of the hand unit and couldn’t change it, due to the handle being broken and came away in our hand (this is the damage/fault). The bin was full and there was no hand wash provided and sadly it wasn’t very clean. He only provided one towel for both myself and my partner.
Evening - on return to the property approximately 2330 , we were unable to access the house, as Jon had forgotten to take out the key out of the door. Thankfully Jon was asleep down stairs. Jon was incredibly apologetic about that.
Night sleep - was a good nights sleep, very quiet. We didn’t hear Jon nor was there any external noise.
Leaving - We offered to strip the bed however Jon requested we leave it and he would do it, which was very kind of him. It was a very simple departure, simply left the keys with Jon and headed on our way.
Area - the location for the Etihad stadium is perfect, however the area doesn’t offer any bars/pubs/restaurants in the immediate vicinity, which was disappointing and the estate does appear a little rough.
Due to a few minor elements and the fact we are being accused of damaging something that we didn’t damage, we won’t use this Host again. Which is a shame, as Jon was a good Host whilst we were staying there.
