Though I had some difficulty connecting with Anne via email in the days prior to my arrival, I phoned her the morning of and appreciated her willingness to let me leave my bag sometime after 1:30 PM.
Upon arrival, I was surprised to notice animal droppings on the stairs going up to the apartment as well as large bags of feed on the stair and in the hall. The bags in the hall had been broken open by the bunnies and the feed was spilling out. There were a number of rabbits running loose throughout the apartment and there was an odor of animal waste. In the guest bedroom was a picture of the backside of a scantily clad woman.
I returned after 6 PM to speak to the host about the apartment and guest room conditions but eventually decided I had better find a more healthful place to spend the night.
I have run a small farm, which included cats, dog, goats, chickens, Guinea pigs, a pig, and horses. However, I never would subject a houseguest to the conditions I experienced.
The combination of conditions and price charged were unreasonable. However, I hope that the conditions I experienced were not normal and that they will improve for future guests. South Queensferry is a lovely town.
