Disappointing
We booked this property based on favourable reviews, we were disappointed.
First of all the positives.
The location is really great. In fact it's better than the map shows because it's 4mins to the beach. It's just one straight road which is very quiet and safe.
The other positive is the garage. It's got some great toys for the kids to play with including life jackets which we thought was a nice touch.
Now the negatives.
When we arrived Laura did not tell us the following:
The oven wasn't functioning properly - it had be lit with a gas lighter(so does the grill), this left a strong smell of gas.
The shower/bath in the ensuite didnt drain properly so you end up standing in dirty water.
The toilet broke in the ensuite - to be fair Laura got a plumber out the next day to fix.
In addition to this the place needs some tender loving care;
I have never ever seen a rustier towel rail. It was so rusty it was just pealing off.
In addition the towel handle was rusty.
The place smelt of damp. They are obviously aware of the problem that's why they have air fresheners in the cupboards.
In addition to this:
Stains in the bath
Mouldy shower head
I could go on.
Unable to show pictures but I have shared with Airbnb.
Other things to be careful about if you have a family is that the sun terraces wall is very low so be careful if you have young kids.
Please please check with Laura or Albert that these things above have been fixed. You pay an awful lot of money, you shouldn't have to deal or put up with this. I am writing to hopefully encourage the owner to fix such basic problems.
Lastly I would like to thank Airbnb who after reviewing our pictures and videos agreed with us and compensated us for the problems we faced.
