My stay was pleasant. It...

Liked: Bed was very comfortable, but there was only one very light duvet on the bed. I feel there should be additional blankets in the cupboard should guests require one. To be fair, there was a heater in the room. When I arrived, the room was very cold (5 deg C according to the heater), but did warm up eventually, thanks to the heater.
Disliked: James was rude, telling me to "settle down" when I advised that he had NOT sent me an email with the door code to enter the property. At the time of making the booking, I was advised that an email would be sent to me around an hour prior to my set arrival time of 16h00. Given I was much later in arriving, due to business commitments, I was left standing at the entrance, unable to get into the accommodation. Luckily a lady came to the door (I believe his cousin) who opened for me. Whilst I was standing at the door, James' email mysteriously arrived! He blamed "the system"... but would not acknowledge that he had NOT sent the code to me... I understand James owns and runs four houses, but feel he needs to be a little more professional in dealing with paying guests.I get this is a homestay and I get that it was very cost effective - it is NOT a B 'n B, so I was not expecting much more than a comfy bed. However, the room was VERY minimal - no glass for water, no extra blankets (given it is mid-winter) and James needs better processing of his entry system. To be fair, there was soap and shampoo in the shower, with a towel put out for my use.At 4am on Sunday morning, I was woken by a loud radio playing somewhere in the house. After lying in bed for quite a while, I went to investigate, eventually identifying that his "cousin" (who lives in the room directly below the room I was assigned in the homestay) had the TV blaring. I knocked repeatedly, until she eventually opened and I was able to ask her to turn it down so that I could get back to sleep. I get that cultures are different, but I feel if one has paying guests, there has to be a level of decorum. There was another guest in room 2B, so he/ she too would have been woken by this somewhat inconsiderate individual...

Good experience for Hamilton.
