We arrived at this property and had to leave almost immediately because it was not as advertised and, in our view, unfit for our group to stay in.On arrival we found:•A pest problem, including a wasp nest on the porch and signs of rodents in and around the property.•Major road construction directly outside the house, with road closures, heavy machinery, dust and noise, making access difficult and the environment unpleasant.•Significant homeless activity in the immediate area, which felt unsafe and was not reflected in the listing; one person approached us as we got out of our Uber.•A strong, persistent damp smell inside the house. The sagging roof and overall condition suggest underlying moisture issues, and one member of our group started wheezing after just a few minutes indoors.•Overgrown and poorly maintained gardens front and back, and an overall level of exterior neglect that does not match the listing photos.These issues together meant the property was not suitable for us. Had the listing accurately represented the condition of the house and surrounding area, we would not have booked it. We documented what we saw with multiple photos and raised it with the host, but have not received any compensation or satisfactory resolution, so we had to book alternative accommodation at our own expense.I would strongly recommend that future guests check recent photos and reviews carefully before booking, and that the listing be updated to reflect the actual condition.
