I felt very uncomfortable at Morag's. The place was rather unclean and there was an unexpected backpacker staying with her. I had deliberately chosen Morag because I am a thirty something woman travelling alone. I felt staying with another mature woman would be ideal but to have a strange man hanging around the flat all day who I had been given no warning of and who would lay about in the evenings watching television in his underwear was very disconcerting. On my first evening there, the two of them didn't even acknowledge my existence when I would enter the room. I felt very uncomfortable and unwelcome.
Cleanliness is also important to me so the fact that my feet would stick to the floor, there was a thick layer of dust under the bed, and the sheets and towels had dark strands of hair stuck to them (Morag and I are both blonde) meant I found it hard to relax.
There was also only a cheap transparent curtain in the bedroom so as the morning sun shines directly in on the bed the room becomes like an oven by about 7am.
Initially, I loved the dog but he would lie by the front door and growl rabidly every time I tried to leave the flat.
The bed was comfortable, location good and I was invited to join them for a drink on my last night but Morag's was expensive and unwelcoming and I felt being forced into a position where I was left alone with a strange man of whom I had absolutely no knowledge was very unsafe and inappropriate.
I would not recommend.
