It had everything we needed and more. Our host was excellent with quick replies if we needed anything, which we didnât but was so reassuring to know they were there. We will return many times as the location and facilities were excellent. Thank you for a wonderful stay â¤ï¸

I think if I'd have known there was also a property upstairs, owned by the same person, I would have booked that one, but by the time I found out through the property owner, we had already unpacked everything and settled in and booked ty arth for 2 weeks. For some reason, it hadn't come up on our search. The steps down were a little awkward, but not bad. One of the steps was very rotten, but it didn't really bother us and I told the owner it didn't matter to us. The apartment is well laid out. There were a few things broken The curtain rail in the lounge and the kitchen clock, but I just highlighted these to the owner. No big deal. There were a couple of unfortunate events that happened during our stay. The first one being some extremely loud occupants staying in the apartment above. Banging loudly above our heads until 5am! When we all had early starts in the morning. This sadly coordinated with the other event regarding the owner, which meant she was unable to do much about it. This greatly impacted negatively on our stay, at no fault of the owner. Thankfully they left after 3 nights! Some other guys came to stay for a while above, and we bearly heard them. So it really depends on who is occupying the flat above. Yes, it can be a little noisy during the day, but that doesn't matter. It's night time that's important. There were a few minor inconveniences. Not enough cuttery when 4 people are staying. No can opener. And the smoke alarm in the kitchen goes off *every single time you cook*, even with the extractor fan on full power. It's too near the oven. There's no door to stop the light to the bathroom, so it's super bright if someone turns it on during the night. The best thing about it was the owner. She was very understanding of my youngest son's disability. My son has severe learning disabilities and is semi verbal non communicative. He can't control is fine motor skills, so spills drinks and makes a mess with food. He also likes to pull sheets off the bed. We kept trying to clean as much as possible, but the owner was very understanding. And we took out extra insurance to cover any potential damages he may cause.

Upon arrival, we were greeted with an overwhelming smell of dampness. As we explored further, we found noticeable damp in several rooms, including the kitchen cupboards where cups and other utensils are kept. Additionally, my wife had to clean significant amounts of dust, spider webs, and damp marks from various surfaces. This was quite concerning, especially since our son suffers from a skin allergy, and these conditions are not conducive to his health. We chose your property based on the positive reviews and the expectation of a clean and comfortable environment. Unfortunately, our experience so far has not met these expectations.
