As per many reviews from past travellers, Jimmy’s place had a lot of positives.
This review is based on my personal experience 10-12 Feb 2020.
Stayed for two nights, arriving around 11pm on the first night and 11.30pm in the second night, leaving around 8-8.30am on each morning.
Only used three areas of the house, bedroom, part of the hallway to the bathroom and the bathroom.
Bedroom 1, next to the front door was clean with a king spring bed and a double door wardrobe. Having driven for 10hours, just wanted a good night sleep. We experienced three types of sleep disturbing sound/ noise during the night.
The bed squeaked and creaked with the slightest movement. Unfortunately, the mattress springs could be felt through the cover and was so uncomfortable that I had to sleep on top of the blanket to add some comfort to it. Asked for another blanket to put on top, which did the trick.
The guest in the adjacent room snored heavily which came through the plaster wall. No response from the host when I mentioned it, supposed nothing he can do. On the second night, I had to use the provided fan in the room to drown out the snoring as the fan provided a constant sound but was a bit annoying due to the new noise created and the air movement, just couldn’t win.
The windows in the room was left open due to the humid conditions and the fresh air was very welcoming, but sometime in the wee hours of the morning, a motorbike and cars drove past the house which was a wake up call to close the windows. With the windows closed the sound was greatly reduced except for the snoring.
The bathroom floor was always wet, puddle wet at night, the three mats were drenched, even the toilet paper was wet. So definitely wear a slipper or similar. Not sure what went on in the bathroom but the host did apologised “Just mopped the floor”.
We got what we paid for, it’s a shame as it’s appears to be a nice place and the host is very accommodating. Sound proofing of the common wall would have been a good investment if rooms are to be used as an Airbnb or similar.
