A comfortable little place close amenities.

It was a great location, neat to amenities and shops.

The property was older and smelled slightly musty perhaps due to the damp weather.

1 / 10

This was a truly terrible experience. I would never, ever, ever stay here again, no matter what.

Nothing. Absolutely nothing was good about this stay. Regarding CCTV: There was no prior disclosure to us about camera monitoring. The host asked me what the blue device at the gate was and instructed me to move it to the back if it was a bin. Through that exchange, I became aware that a camera was installed. This had not been clearly communicated before arrival. This review reflects our actual experience during the brief time we were present. We did not stay overnight because the conditions did not allow us to do so. If any part is inaccurate, I am willing to take responsibility. Future guests should review all available information carefully.

This property was a complete nightmare. There were insects everywhere, and the bed had bedbugs. The smell was unbearable — it was so bad that it was hard to breathe and caused throat irritation. On top of that, there were cameras monitoring the property without prior notice, which is a serious violation of privacy. Every aspect of this stay was unacceptable. I would strongly warn anyone against staying here. ========================================================================== I would like to clarify the facts accurately, as the property’s reply does not reflect what occurred. This was not a cancellation for personal reasons. We were unable to stay due to hygiene and health concerns, and we did not stay overnight. Timeline: We checked in at approximately 5:00 PM, placed our luggage, and left shortly after. We returned around 8:00–8:30 PM. During approximately 30–40 minutes inside the property, we observed insects on the bed and experienced a strong unpleasant odor that caused coughing and throat irritation. We contacted the host and left immediately. We secured alternative accommodation the same evening. We did not sleep in the bed, did not shower, and did not use the property for accommodation purposes. The sheets were lifted only to confirm the presence of insects. Regarding refund: Although we did not stay overnight because the property was not in a condition suitable for accommodation, we did not receive a full refund. And repeated requests for clarification and full reimbursement were not properly addressed. If insects on bedding and strong hygiene concerns are considered acceptable conditions by the host, then this should be clearly disclosed in the property description prior to booking. Guests reasonably expect clean and habitable sleeping conditions. When those basic conditions are not met and a guest cannot stay, withholding the full payment is difficult to justify.

Great location, safe area. shame about the front door

When we arrived the front door to the propery was wide open. We knocked but no reply, we didn't want to enter. We peer in and could see a jacket left on the side and assumed someone was still there. We called the owner who sent the cleaner round to investigate. It was very under nerving and we didn't really settle into the property after that.
