Mar 14, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Bad experience and communication because of Powercut The property is clean, nice location, no problems! The issues were that first morning we woke up and there was no hot water. Although annoying it was resolved by the friendly property managers.Then the power was cut. These things happen but in this case it was planned and the owner notified of it. I checked with neighbours and the line company. The owner ignored it and let us rent the property .We spend the day away but when we returned, power was still cut, No one could tell us how long it would last. We had to leave the house. It took numerous emails and phone calls to get a minimal refund.This was just not good enough considering the bad experience. The stay with my brother visiting from overseas was ruined. ##### Dirk I.
