The place is lovely and quite spacious. Location is also great as close enough to the beach and the city centre. However, parking is only available on a narrow street (park at your own risk). It is also lacking in amenities such as shampoo, hairdryer and wifi although this is indicated in the listing. I even asked for the wifi password but didn’t receive it. When we arrived on our 1st day, the house was hot so I turned the airconditioning on. After a while, it turned off. Sent a message to the owner and said she will check it later. Didn’t realise that the aircon was turned on remotely. We decided to sleep early then received a message at 10:40pm saying that aircon is still on. I didn’t see this message until the following morning.

The owner lives downstairs. On our first morning, while preparing breakfast, we received an SMS from owner saying we are too noisy and blowing hot air right next to bedroom below (sic). We just have our radio on a normal listening level and it wasn’t that loud.

On our 2nd day, during our dinner. I received another message saying they can feel the draft from our open windows and sliding door. We only had one window open which was by the kitchen as we were cooking and yes the sliding door on the balcony was open. I’m not sure how they can feel it on the lower level even though the stairs access door between us is shut. I don’t really know what to think at this point.

I have stayed at so many AirBnb accommodations over the years and all of my experiences have been satisfactory and positive but this time, we didn’t really feel welcome at all. Whenever we are at the house, we are like walking on eggshells to not try to make a noise so as not to offend them.
