What a lovely period home and a lovely stay me and my partner had. Anouk is the host looking after the building for the owner who lives across the garden, you won’t see her often but she happened to be in when we arrived to say hi.
There are 12 rooms in this ginormous house! And to those of you who do not know, there will be many others staying and sharing the space with you. The advert is unassuming however, Everyone we met was friendly, clean and quiet.
We had a lovely stay and were rushed for time as we came up from London for a one day job and then rushed back to London the next day.
We were exhausted and tired from our long travel and did not have the energy to cook let alone top toe around all the other tenants in the kitchen, so on the first night we ordered curry. To eat, there was a small table in our room but no accompanying suitable dining chairs to eat from, so we decided to eat on the bed. We must have split a small penny sized splodge of curry on the bed sheets because after we cleaned up and left, Put our trash in a bin bag bag (there was no bin provided) and left the room more or less as we came to it I got a rude message from Anouk assuming that the dog had thrown up on the bed and that we had left the room in an abominable state!
We had left two cigarette butts outside by accident that we missed when cleaning up our trash but other than that, the room was fine. I don’t think anyone professionally cleans their Airbnb room after they leave, do they?
I tried my best to apologise and diffuse Anouk’s foul mood, but she continued her turbulent messages and fined me £35 for damages.
I’m certain the stain would have come out with stain remover, and had an ash tray, or a bin been provided, our cigarette butts would not have been found on the balcony. I’d also like to note that the door does not lock.
Her dog is also aggressive and went for my
Labrador’s throat upon arrival. I would beware if the dog and of Anouk.
Such a shame as we enjoyed our stay and we’re considering to revisit for a longer period. That will no longer be happening. All the best
