We stayed here recently as a large group with 3 young kids. The place worked well for us and the kids loved running around the space.
HOUSE
The house is in a quiet neighbourhood that feels quite safe. Check-in was easy and intuitive - no issues there.
I was initially worried about what “not a 5 stars house” meant. Essentially, there are some cosmetic flaws here and there - chips in the wall, scuffed coffee table, stained spot on the carpet in one of the rooms, line through one of the tiles etc etc so if you’re a little particular about such things, then this place may not be for you. We found all this fine but sent the hosts pictures of existing damage that we found so as to avoid misunderstanding.
The hosts supplied all the usual cutlery, utensils etc and some items in the pantry which was appreciated. There was a kid high chair in the house (new looking and clean) and some kid utensils which we appreciated. When we ran low on toilet paper, a bag of rolls was delivered to the door step pretty quickly.
Beds were a little springy and transmitted movement of the other person. We prefer firmer beds but this was not a big deal.
Take note that the water is also a little finicky. The aunts complained that the hot water sometimes went off mid-shower, leaving them cold. I had no issues in my showers but it seemed to be an on-off issue.
We loved that there was a lemon tree in the backyard. Felt homely.
LOCATION
The place is a short drive from supermarkets (Spud Shed is awesome), fast food joints etc and it’s only 8 mins to the airport. We liked the location.
Overall
This place is good value for money. It is not fancy, it is not luxurious but it worked for us. It was also clean. Hosts are quite responsive.
