I was talking to one of my son's friends mums a few months back about our holiday. Long story short, it turns out the mum's cousin owns a flat which she rents for holidays. The mum told me she'd ask her if it was available on our dates.
It was available. Friend sent some pics of the flat and we told her we'd take it. I did ask to put me in touch with the cousin directly but the mum never did and all communication went through the mum.
We never paid any deposit. I asked the friend and she said not to worry about it. So it was all done on good will really, which is why even before we left, we sort of thought that it will be difficult if we aren't happy about something there and we would probably just need to suck it up for the sake of the friendship.
Anyway, the flat wasn't ideal and most importantly really, it didn't have WiFi and one of the beds was so uncomfortable and lob-sided, we had to fit into one bed / put a mattress on the floor.
I think the WiFi thing was the worst thing really. After a few days I informed friend we would be leaving the flat. Friend didn't ask why or if all was ok. Just said OK can you switch for the boiler ? I said I would be switching off the boiler when we give back the flat. We left the flat but didn't officially leave it with the keys etc until the day we were supposed to leave.
We were very gracious about it all but I feel like the friend could have been gracious as well and asked if all was ok. We paid everything up front on arrival. We weren't going to start arguing for money back but she could have asked if all was ok and why we were leaving early in my opinion.
She sort of managed the whole process for us with her relative, which we do appreciate but I think that no WiFi is just unacceptable.
I'm not going to say anything, it's done and dusted but I do feel a bit miffed about the whole thing.
AIBU ?
