Booked to stay overnight on Air BnB. Easy enough. On arrival, they had no booking and so we had to wait for 30mins whilst they sorted it out with Air BnB.Room was lovely. The manager asked if we wanted breakfastWe went and ate somewhere else and went to sleep to be woken up at 1am by the fire alarm. 45 minutes of waiting outside and the fire brigade managed to make it safe - so a perfect night’s sleep.The room was £47 which was good value, so overall okay - an experience!!!
