Aug 31, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location Disliked: Communication, listing accuracy This is NOT a 2 bedroom. This is a 1bedroom with a broken sofa bed in the kitchen. Terrible responsiveness. If you're by yourself then this is a lovely stay. But not suitable for 2 singles. ##### Nicole M. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Lauren P. Jul 29, 2025 Disliked: Check-in, communication, listing accuracy We could not stay because the property is not the 2 bedroom home described, but just two unconnected rooms - one bedroom with en suite having to go outside to get to a lounge/ kitchenette with sofa beds (and another separate again bathroom) so probably not suitable for solo or twin older travelers. The process for canceling and complaining about the misrepresentation was unclear and extremely frustrating and no consideration appeared to be given to even a partial refund. ##### Lauren P. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2025
