Very clean and modern looking place, pictures are accurate but all of the bad things from paint fumes to lack of mirrors to lack of waste bins to slamming doors to the stairs...we would have booked somewhere else for sure!
”Refurbished” in the title of listing does not accurately describe the overwhelming paint fumes. The home reeked of fresh paint so strongly we had to leave all windows open even with cold weather.
The listing said no stairs and accessible however there is a flight of narrow, twisting, precarious stairs leading up to the first floor. Not a deal breaker, but that should be disclosed in the listing.
A few other things that were unacceptable:
No electrical outlet in the bathroom to style hair.
No mirror in one bedroom which made it impossible to see oneself to prepare for the day.
No trash receptacles in bathroom for us was an issue as we are ladies and needed a place to put sanitary napkins.
No trash bins in either bedroom.
All doors were hung in a way to slam and stay closed at all times. We had to use our luggage and furniture to prop doors open to prevent claustrophobic feeling and for air flow. The host told us all homes in Scotland have this feature of fire doors but I could not get a single locals about this and could not get anyone to confirm this fact. Door stoppers should be provided or if not, there should be a note in listing description that every room, including living room, dining room, and kitchen are sectioned off from bedrooms, etc.
There was no milk for tea. An unnecessary courtesy but very nice and in every Airbnb home we’ve been to this farther they’ve had milk packets in the tea basket.
Retrieving and returning the key into a lock box off-site was unexpected, annoying, inconvenient, and was not stated before booking.
