Marita is a really nice person and her place is very clean. However, upon check in she advised me there was another person living in the house across from our room and that we would share the bathroom with him. The listing doesn't quite describe this is a shared place fully. Barely any privacy. We felt terribly uncomfortable because we heard everything in the bathroom when it was used, and at around 7-8 pm the kitchen was being actively used by her, her daughter and the man living there. It was quite the uncomfortable setting. I absolutely loved her cats, but they woke us up at 6 am, as well as sounds outside our door. The beds were very uncomfortable, we had 2 hours of sleep and woke with back pain. We had booked the place for a week. Next day, we told her the issues that we were experiencing. Marita offered to put a "schedule" on bathroom use, and asked to switch our mattresses. Even though this was nice of her, I'm not sure she quite understood what it's like to feel uncomfortable the way we did.
That morning I changed the settings on the dates so that she wouldn't lose on further booking other people, and also so that we may get a refund for the rest of the days and get charged for one night we were there. She didn't respond until afternoon, and told us it would be "fair" to charge us for 2 nights instead of 1. In my opinion, this is literally madness. The only reason we accepted is because she has a no refund policy and if we didn't accept we wouldn't get anything back. I would not stay here again.
