Friendly, relaxed, comfortable and clean
Pros:

Family style, relaxed and friendly. Very clean and well situated. Everyone we met in Wool was lovely and it’s a beautiful area.
Steve was great, gauged brilliantly when to engage - makes a fab cuppa and gives excellent local recommendations.

Cons:

The pavement at the front is narrow and slippery- better to walk in the road.

Pros:

Steve was an amazing guy and a great host. We were welcomed with a free beer and great hospitality. The bed was really comfortable and clean. We had access to a very tidy bathroom. If we had any special request Steve was more than ready to help us out.

Steve thank you for everything and we hope we get the chance to book with you again in the future, from your Dutch friends.

Horrendous...yelled at, sworn at, paid cash to owner
Pros:

Somewhat close to sites, kitchen available.

Cons:

RUN AWAY…There are not enough negative stars to express the HORRENDOUS experience we had. We were yelled at, sworn at, accused, blamed, insulted, and we paid $70 cash to calm the owner. The sheets and bedding was likely 20+ years old and had stains all over them. The furniture and amenities were grimy and outdated.
We booked this location because it appeared that we were booking the entire apartment - it stated there was a kitchen and showed pictures of a kitchen table, a sofa and other amenities. The description gave us NO indication that we were booking a single room in the house and that we would share one bathroom, kitchen and other space with not only 2 other groups, but the owner as well. YOU ARE BOOKING ONE ROOM WITH ALL OTHER SHARED SPACE.
When we made mention that the description gave no indication that this was shared space, he quickly told us we were liars.
The owner threatened that he put his van behind our car so that we couldn't leave until we gave him what he wanted. We had 3 in our group and he was irate, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt that he was drunk, but he was in no position to be a host for anyone or anything.
While in the kitchen cooking some dinner, the owner angrily asked, “how much longer are you going to be in here stinking up the place for my other guests.” He asked again very quickly without giving time for a response and then went into a rage. He began to yell, swear, accuse us, blame us for his anger, insult our nationality, told us we were liars and that he couldn’t trust us. He repeated these offenses over and over multiple times.
Worst place to stay...we locked ourselves in our room, locked the windows (even though it was hot in the room) and prayed for morning to come so that we could quietly leave this terrible place.
RUN AWAY...I cannot express that enough. RUN AWAY.

Good value, good location, good host
Pros:

Host was very friendly and hospitable. Bedroom and bathroom were clean and tidy. Location was excellent for exploring local areas and there were two pubs close by-one within easy walking distance and the other just a short drive away.

Cons:

Didn't actually realise it was someone's house when booking, but this wasn't an issue once we realised. Only real bug bear was the fact that it was a communal bathroom.
