mixed feelings about the stay

unsafe door emergency lock
the location had great views over the bay.
The door locks felt unsafe during an emergency, as i could only lock and unlock with the key. I was concerned about quick exits. i think updating the door security would be beneficial for peace of mind.

Iain and Lindsay were very nice hosts . They promptly answered all questions before and . I found their kindness and helpfulness really good. The attention to detail were pretty good what I expected.
The door locks concerned me.. They require a key for both locking and unlocking. This could be unsafe during an emergency. I also found the lack of face-to-face interaction disappointing. There was no formal meet and greet.
