This little gem in the heart of an upmarket suburb close to the city is excellent value for money. Clean, quiet, comfortable, homely and safe. Pauline is an excellent host, close enough to help, but far enough to allow guests their privacy. Cute resident doggie, a busy little chicken supplying free range eggs for breakfast, bacon in the fridge and a good selection of cereals, breads, milk etc Even a supply of booze for those of us too forgetful to have remembered to stock up.
Designed very thoughtfully so that you feel completely private from the main house. Own entrance. Table and chairs outside, including an ashtray for smokers. Lots of trees and plants. Good neighbourhood and great for walking, very close to the river. The flat is equipped with everything you can think of that you may need, and more besides. Games, dvds, books, music, oils, spices, cutlery and dishes. Little stove, lots of pots and pans, good hot water, microwave, shower, soaps and shampoos. Many cafes close by, so you can walk or drive for food, or just lie about the place and wait for the delivery driver. Much better value than staying in a hotel.
Good comfy bed with extra blankets if needed. Aircon and heater. Iron and hair dryer. I really can’t think of anything you might need that Pauline hasn’t already supplied. Even candles in case of a blackout...or just a romantic dinner? Of course there’s a telescope on the cupboard in case you’re struck with an urge to pop out to examine the night sky. I wasn’t, but I was pleased to know that should I be, I wasn’t going to have to scratch about looking for my binoculars.
All in all a very happy experience and I look forward to staying at Pauline’s again. Thoroughly recommended.
