Response from the owner We are very sorry that this guest was disappointed with Tadpoles. I, the owner am currently absent from the property and was unaware of its current state. I can assure all future guests that repairs are being undertaken and everything will be rectified shortly. If the guest had informed us of these issues on arrival, we would have given her a free upgrade to our other apartment.
