DO NOT STAY HERE.
I've been using air bnb for five years and I always find something positive to say about my stay, I hate leaving bad reviews. This time I must however be open and honest about my experience.
Originally we had booked to stay at the house for 2 1/2 months - a week before we were set to move in Nora messaged me saying that the bills had gone up and she couldn't allow us to stay for that long a time, she said we could stay there for a month at the original price. This last minute backtrack on a deal that was made a month previous was obviously a shock to us but we managed to rearrange our plans and got on with it.
When we got to the house, it was in fact amazing, a wonderful home that has incredible views and was very comfortable and spacious. We lived there for over three weeks, respecting the house and the neighborhood.
Then one night, whilst we we're all about to go to bed - Nora's son marched up to the house (Nora lives below) and started knocking loudly on the door, my girlfriend answered, he pushed past her and came directly in to the house to speak with me, he was worked up and hostile. He told us that we had to leave the house that evening because his mum had complained about us being too noisy...This is completely untrue! For the past 5 days I was at home, recovering from eye surgery, I was hardly able to get out of bed, let alone make excessive noise. Despite telling them this, they still demanded I leave.
We tried to speak to them both rationally and understand what the problem was but they wouldn't let us get a word in. That night we packed up our things and left the next day.
We still haven't been given a satisfactory reason for why they kicked us out so suddenly. Nora was vague in her accusations and none of them were true.
Nora and her son behaved completely irrationally and unkind. Piecing everything together afterwards, clearly there was something going on in their personal lives that was beyond our control and for whatever reason they needed the property vacated. I feel that maybe they felt they could get more money from other tenants and decided to get rid of us at any cost. It was the abruptness and irrational manner in which they demanded we leave in 18 hours, 9 days before our check out, and whilst I was still in recovery, which is the real issue. This is not a safe or secure environment to stay in, no matter how beautiful it is. Unfortunately Nora, despite being a wonderful woman, proved to be irrational and untrustworthy. It brings be no pleasure to write this bad review but I feel it's important that not only my voice is heard but others are warned for future reference.
