Fleur’s home is exactly how Airbnb started many years ago. You go straight into and lived in somebody’s home when the owner is away. You can see how the owner would have lived in their living, noticed their clothes, fridges with their favorite foods, and their belongings everywhere. On top of that, you will mingle with their lovely cat - Kitty, feed her food, and clean her food bowel. She even meditated together with us in the morning when she saw us. She is definitely the star of this Airbnb home, especially for the cat lover. The home is exactly like your home, requiring fixing up and improvement every now and then. During our stay, the shower water pressure is a bit low and the shower screen at the main bathroom is a bit short so water splashing onto the floor. This is definitely the one if you want a homely experience and a cat lover!

A great house to stay at for a weekend away with girlfriends. Beautiful clean and tidy home in a lovely neighborhood close to the beach. Jo was very helpful and was there to let us in on arrival, and then left us to it. Price was a bit higher but it was the Robbie Williams concert so understandable with accommodation at a premium for the weekend. Fab stay, would definitely stay again!
