Not as advertised
We stayed in Herbert's house for 6 nights, we booked the place initially because of the views the room offered over the bay, being a similar price to hotels in the city this was the deciding factor in picking Herbert's house. Herbert was a nice host, we did not get to meet him however he was very prompt with responding to messages and also offered us advice on the area with regards to local bars and walks.
However, having booked a room with a view we were disappointed that our reservation was changed to a room downstairs in the house 2 days prior to arrival. Our spectacular bay views were now the back of a tree in the garden under the decking we no longer had access to and the road adjacent to the building.
The room we stayed in was basic and sufficient if you want a cheap getaway in a good location, however it wasn't as advertised as our room does not have pictures in the listing.
The walls were dirty and there was hair on a bar of used soap in the bathroom, we didn't mind this as we still at that time (day 1) had access to the lovely kitchen and living area. However on the night of day 2 after filling water bottles in the kitchen, we received a message asking for us to stay downstairs for the remained of our stay as there were other guests upstairs, we had known that we would be sharing the apartment and had no issues with that. We can only assume the other guests wanted the kitchen to themselves, and after expressing our disappointment with the lack of access to Herbert, he offered us a partial refund, which we greatfully accepted but have yet to recieve. The WiFi in the room downstairs was intermittent at best and we had to stand in the garage to get a decent signal.
