Richmond Terrace – Cosy and Modern Stay

Great stay to be near Blackburn hospital Positive: Very close to Blackburn hospital Very clean Lots of hot water Heating worked well Negative: Just needs a DIY person to go round the property and sort out a million little jobs TV too complicated to watch!

Lovely stay Positive: Had all we required Negative: Nothing it was great

I would like to start by saying that this VRBO listing is misleading. Two items stand out. The photographs show two leather sofas. No such furniture is here. The sofas are old and made of fabric. The listing says ‘King’ bed. There is no king bed here. The bed in the master bedroom is a double. But worse, it is old, stained, and broken down. It sags at the side where people sit and provides a very uncomfortable sleep. We are very angry about this in particular. There is a baseboard in the dining room (front room) to the right of the fireplace that has come off the wall. There are gaps in the laminate flooring where dust and dirt accumulate. The washing machine had someone else’s lint in it. None of the cutlery matches and some of it is falling apart and rusting. We had hoped to get in a bit early, but two cleaning ladies were dragging their vacuum cleaner up the sidewalk to clean at 2 pm, when we were supposed to check in at 3 pm. There are different standards of clean. It did not meet ours. There was cat fur and stains on the vertical blinds. On the positive side, it is a walk to town location. We walked to the train station, the grocery and several restaurants. We feel as though we have been mislead.

Excellent stay again from host your home. They make everthing so easy for check in, and all the information you need is there. The houses are lovely aswell.

Very well organised and good communication from the host. House was clean and warm and comfortable.
