The house is set in a lovely leafy haven, a great location for anyone going to a festival based at North Byron Parklands!

Reuben was lovely to deal with, however there was a breakdown in communication in terms of what we required.

I initially touched base with Reuben to say that myself and another 4x colleagues were heading to Byron for work purposes and needed to hire a house to be based at. Whilst it was an easy place to find, and the key was easy to obtain on our own, we arrived to only 4x beds (2x couches & 2x actual beds), we did eventually find the other floor mattress tucked away to make up the 5th bed. However, bed linen was only available for 3 out of the 5x beds.

I tired to call the mobile number provided on Airbnb however it was disconnected. Luckily Ruben regularly checks his Airbnb inbox (as I quickly sent him a worried email), and he promptly called me to see what was going on.

Ruben was in France when I spoke to him, but did forward on my contact details to Jenny, whom I believe is managing the property on Ruben's behalf. It was now 11:30pm at night and we were waiting for Jenny to bring some more blankets and pillows..

Jenny advised us that we should have been made aware of bringing our own linen. If that was the case, we wouldn't have booked the property to begin with.. It was super cold at night, and whilst there was a fireplace and wood did arrive the following day, we didn't have kindling readily available. Given that we were actually working, in between interviews and writing editorial pieces and creating content, we didn't actually have time to 'gather' kindling from the yard and wait for these to dry to start up a fire as Jenny suggested. A few cheap heaters would have done the trick!

Aside from the above mentioned glitches, we had a great stay and would recommend this property more for holiday purposes rather than a work base.
