Nice, but underdelivered.

Overall, nice quiet apartment on the river and handy for us to use as a base for gravel biking. Unfortunately, be aware all transactions and communications are made outside the Vrbo app, something I was NOT made aware of, There is also a requirement for a £200 refundable deposit, which seems excessive for an apartment that was full of food crumbs from the previous guests, and had multiple failing fixtures. Nothing that really affected us, but when I’m paying that much in a damage deposit, I expect real quality from The host! Communication was pretty poor with no information leading up to the holiday about when payments would be taken or when to check in - you only get check information AT the time of check in on your app. I would avoid the host.

Dear Stevie, property and found it a suitable base for your gravel biking. However, we regret that certain aspects did not meet your expectations. To ensure transparency, we want to clarify that all communications regarding your booking should ideally be conducted through the VRBO platform. Our arrival process requires all pre-check-in requirements to be completed before access can be sent via email on the day of your arrival. We understand your concerns regarding the refundable deposit, especially in light of the cleanliness issues you encountered. Had we been informed during your stay about the food crumbs and fixtures, we could have addressed these issues immediately for your comfort. We will be discussing this feedback with our cleaning team to ensure that our standards are consistently met. We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused and appreciate your understanding. At Prim Short Stays, your feedback is invaluable, and we will use it to make the necessary improvements. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future, where we will ensure a much-improved experience.
