Was really looking forward to a trip away - pictures of the property looked amazing and property is in a good location.
I requested an early check (2 hours earlier) because of the time we were to arrive in Edinburgh, this wasn’t possible which was absolutely fair enough - however it was hugely disappointing to arrive at the given check in time to the property still being cleaned so we couldn’t settle in for another 35+ minutes.
We did get an apology from the but the reason that it’s a big turn around on the specific property, doesn’t really make sense when they hosts have chosen the check in and out times based on the turnaround they’ve decided.
Day 2 of the trip we heard the door bang and someone enter the property late afternoon which was a bit alarming!!
It was someone to pick up the bedding to be washed - this is fine but would have been great if the hosts could have let us know in advance as we didn’t expect anyone would be entering the property whilst we were paying to use the accommodation for our trip. Or if things like this could be taken when the cleaning team left after the extended turn around on our arrival?
It was a family get together for my siblings and I for a special occasion, one of which hasn’t used air b&b before and I think with the hiccups we incurred he has been put off using air b&b in future.
It did take the shine off the stay slightly as it didn’t feel entirely private, secure or homely due to the above reasons. The property itself is a lovely character property in a really good location. However not really true to the pictures - as I say - didn’t feel 100% secure with no keys to the property just an electric digital code lock and unexpected people entering the property unannounced.
Positives were - really quick responses from hosts, great recommendations for local amenities etc, brilliant location.
