Great location for the price.
Self check in is very handy. You can see the ocean from the balcony. The appartment and kitchen itself is spacious enough for 5-6 people for a few nights away, with rooms that are almost soundproof once doors are shut. The wall colour scheme is kept simple, with old fashioned doona covers lending a homey feel.
It is handy having two spacious bathrooms and two toilets, very practical for a family.
There was a small welcome gift of a bottle of wine and Tim tams left on the coffee, a very thoughtful gesture.
We arrived and stayed during a few days of severe storms so some storm damage happened, which was communicated and dealt with appropriately. My children were kept busy indoors with the board games (that were kept under the TV) and the wooden classic games box. chess, Chinese checkers, go and game of life were their faves, such a lifesaver during stormy weather!
The TV is quite old so no USB connections if you wanted to watch your own shows from your devices. There is a dvd player so bring along your favourite dvd shows if you have them. We only watched regular TV, and watched our own shows on the ipads. I'm just grateful for the board games.
The kitchen cabinetry admittedly is quite old and a bit rundown, but it is clean and sanitary. I really appreciated having a sharp cooks knife, a good heavy duty stainless steel skillet, a good little pot, several cooking utensils and well kept newish induction stove/oven and newish dishwasher. There are more than enough cutlery and crockery to suit adults and children alike. There is a large pantry space, a full size fridge/freezer (a bit leaky) and decent kitchen bench space for food prep.
The downstairs bathroom has the washer, a bathtub and vanity. It may be old fashioned but the space works. Having a washing machine is handy, and we used the fan to dry our hanging wet clothing.
We didn't use the WiFi provided, opting instead to use our own data.
Communication with the host was very smooth and prompt. The host Quy would find and communicate solutions within a few minutes. There were also detailed instructions to help you make the most of your stay, with a folder full of local maps and suggestions.
Overall it was comfortable enough for our family. If you're looking to stay somewhere convenient to city centre, but don't mind a homely feel then take a look at this listing to see if it would suit you.
