They advertised 2 bathrooms but only had one. So I paid top dollar thinking I was getting two bathrooms and am still waiting for a partial refund. I would never had booked this place if I knew it only had one bathroom. Very old home, was only room in lounge for 3 people and we had six, they had a two seater couch and a one seater.
