Nice location, small place that's good for shorter breaks, but issues with owner communication and apartment appliances not working properly (see below for details).
1. The exhaust fan above the cooker doesn’t work. I reported this on day one and was told they’d send someone round. That never happened. The owner’s solution was to cook with windows open, which, whilst I was happy to do that, not only does it make the apartment cold in the evenings, but when there’s no wind it makes the apartment (and clothing) smell into the following day(s).
2. Reported the TV didn’t work. After a huge amount of back and forth, and a reply from one of the owners simply stating "it works" (which I found somewhat strange given I was the one sat in front of the TV staring at a black screen), I decided to desist with enquiries (not a big TV watcher anyway). When the apartment was cleaned 6 weeks later, the owner then tested the TV and acknowledged it was broken. It was frustrating to then stumble across an Airbnb review from the previous guest outlining exactly the same problem, meaning wasted time/effort ‘trying to figure it out’ (including a run to the shop to buy new batteries..) when the issue was previously reported and already known.
3. I asked to have the code on the door changed mid-stay as a suspicious looking stranger in the alleyway overheard me give it to a friend. No response, no action.
4. Was told on check-out I’d left the place in a mess. It wasn’t (see my previous reviews for how I leave places). The expectation from the owner on the cleanliness of the apartment at departure is far greater than anywhere else I've ever stayed (in 10 years using Airbnb). FYI on what's not acceptable >> sand in the shower, crumbs in the oven, small spills anywhere in the kitchen, unopened food/drink left for the next guest, items left on the floor (hairdryer....).
All in all a nice place, but I'm leaving with a sour taste from comms during, and post my stay. It's location to Windansea beach is excellent, and it has mostly (the kitchen utensils are a touch limited) everything you need.
