I had high expectations for my stay at this property based on the positive reviews and appealing photos, but my experience did not fully meet those expectations. Upon check-in, I noticed that the property did not look as bright or clean as depicted in the photos. There were noticeable dog hairs throughout, which stuck to my socks, and the overall cleanliness could have been improved.The kitchen was equipped with very basic cookware, which was not up to the standard of other properties I’ve stayed at under the same price point. Some items, like the pans and spatulas, were worn out, and the glasses and plates were not clean upon arrival. While the host did send someone to clean the floors after I raised concerns, the response to my request for better kitchen items was less helpful. For example, when I asked for a suitable spatula, I was advised to use a large metal one meant for the BBQ, which I found impractical.I would suggest that the host invest in better cookware and utensils to enhance the cooking experience for guests and implement stricter cleaning measures, especially for properties where pets are allowed.On a positive note, the house is conveniently located near Graham Town, which is a nice area to visit, although the neighboring houses felt a bit less secure.
