  Avoid and look elsewhere

  Nothing - Unsafe and very dirty !! Avoid and stay else where !!

  Very dirty, three cups to use for cookware and limited utensils, dirty kitchen, dirty handles on cupboards and fridge handle and dirty bathroom with mould in shower curtains, dead spiders hanging in living room - dirty space overall, pile of unsafe garbage in garden and when I asked for it to be cleaned I was told it’s cold so why do I want to use it ??? Unsafe balcony filled with Algie which is potentially very dangerous as slippery. Host out right refused to clean or provide listed amenities such as clothes drying rack unless I paid more money. Check in process was awful - I felt I was being extorted. Very unsafe conditions - not sure how this place is being listed as I wouldn’t stay for free and left the same night - host refused refund even though place is unliveable. For check in, Host asked for card info for security deposit - on separate website - and somehow, authorised pending charges three times on different dates after I left - £300 each time - had to contact my bank for resolution. Worst stay of my life as a seasoned traveller!!! AVOID!!!

  OK, wish i could have given it a better score but photos over sell it, dont be put off though.

  House was generally clean and looked like it had been serviced recently, key and comunication were great and had no issues finding parking etc.

  Id like to have been able to offer a better review as we didnt have any problems as such, however, there were a few bits that could do with attention to justify the costs, there was only a limited amount of cutterly/kitchen untensils which meant we could not eat together, fortunatley we were out most of the day, just used it as a base, the deckign is severely dmaged on the back of the propperty so much so we could not use it its totally rotten and needs to be replaced before someone gets hurt on it, there were dirty pots in the dishwasher, there was a frying pan that was totally destroyed by something the previous guests had used it for, we didnt use it, the front of the propperty need to be cleaned up a bit as there are lots of weed etc, and there are beer cans in the guttering off the balcony, if the owners would try to freshen up the house i would happily give it a better score, the house is OK and we appreciated the comms and ease of perking etc. Many Thanks...
