Verified ### 2/10 Terrible #### Katherine B. 20 Nov 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Appalling This property description is totally and grossly misrepresented.a garage at the back of a property with the main house run down and under construction with barking dogs- no privacy at all as the house looks straight into the garage / coastal hideaway. This needs to be reviewed. No one should be renting out a place when the main address is under construction. Building works with materials being thrown from the first floor down onto where we were driving the car up to the grassed area outside the ‘garage’ on arrival and noisy music from worker blaring on arrival at 6.35pm on a Saturday - a no go! I do not recommend this property be listed and the description needs review. ##### Katherine B.
