Property was great and we enjoyed our stay. However the initial checkin process was frustrating, as the host sent a link to a different site/ platform for checkin and wanted us to pay a deposit before giving us checkin details. The host was insisting on a deposit (£60! nonrefundable or £300! refundable a few days after check out) even though this info was not in the property description or breakdown when we paid. We would not booked id there was another fee. After some back and forth we had to report the issue Airbnb confirmed the host cannot charge extra fees and on a different platform. It was unfortunate and uncomfortable situation, specially as we only got the check in information the morning of our travel. It maybe the host was unaware of the Airbnb rules as it appears to be a relatively new listing but it ruined the booking experience for us. The property itself is in a great location, quirky and fun decor. Safe building, and had good utilities. We enjoyed our stay.
