We, a small family of three with a 7y old boy, stayed with Barry & Viv over weekend 10-12 November and must admit that the price performance ratio was not what we expected to be.
The view was truly breath-taking, though the room does not look as bright as shown on the photograph and is located at the very top of the house (many stairs). The own bathroom is separated and accessible by using the main hallway. Having the breakfast on the veranda with that beautiful view was not really enjoyable because already at 8am the sun was shining hot and due to the very little shadow from the roof we had to hurry up right before the butter was melting down…
Although the room had air condition which was adjustable only by the owners, was not suitable for having breakfast. Toaster and kettle are situated outside in the hallway.
Because the house is located at a thoroughfare and near the freeway bridge our sleep was heavily disturbed specially on Saturday night (a loud bikers gang was passing through). That is this something about weekend rate…
The bed linen – as praised in the profile – was high-quality, but unfortunately with two clearly visible brown spots on the mattress cover. Upon our late arrival there was the bed cover missing in the room next door, in consequence our son had to sleep together with us in one bed which was ok because the bed was big and comfy. Although the owners put on the missing bed cover next day we refused to use the second room at all (as well as all bath towels - we used our own ones). Nevertheless Barry insisted to get payed for the third person according to the conditions shown on Airbnb, which means 100 AUD on top of more than 260 AUD. That was ‘over the top’!
For this kind of money we really could have had a nice hotel or B&B – and for sure with bathroom ensuite, air-conditioned breakfast-room and of course a similar nice view.
We often have enjoyed the Airbnb-service – but this time it was really not such a good experience. The good news about it: PERTH is a nice city with lots of other Airbnb-offers and truly fair prices and conditions…
