Kevin responded to my request almost immediately and it was easy to communicate with him to make arrangements. The location of the house is very good and close to public transport and the house looks exactly like the pictures - it is indeed a beautifully restored property. This is unfortunately all the positives I can come up with. We arrived late in the evening and never got to meet Kevin. Kevin's partner let us in and showed us the ropes, which included removing our shoes before walking in the house - this is made clear in the posting for the house but we missed that detail, so our fault. She is a lovely lady but we found it quite difficult to communicate with her, which probably did not contribute to our impressions. I was completely dismayed to find that we were sharing the house with Kevin's partner as I specifically filtered for an entire house/apartment when I searched Airbnb. Sharing my private space is most definitely not my strong point and if I had know this, I would have rather booked into a hotel. Our friends at least had one floor with bedroom, bathroom and kitchen to themselves. Kevin's partner seemed very tense that we might somehow damage the property and we all felt constantly "watched". For this reason we got out of the house early in the morning and came back late at night - which was not the intention. The advertised breakfast I now realise was only intended to be cereal and in our case this came without milk - go figure. At this point I demanded a refund for stocking our own breakfast. We only ate breakfast at the house. On the last night I washed a few items in the washing machine and dried it in the tumble drier, which is advertised in the posting. I was surprised at Kevin's negative comments in his review regarding us using the house as if "we owned it" by not asking before using the washer and dryer...... that is what I paid a pretty fee for I would have thought! I intended using the house as my own, which in the end we could not do. This experience has put me off using Airbnb again and I think I would rather stick with hotel accommodation or perhaps Bed and Breakfasts in future.
