REVIEW
We gave it a 3 star for the following reasons ...
It's a very nice house with great rooms. I love the upstairs and downstairs separation. A brilliant location too. 5 star but for the factors below ...
1. Deduct one star for no air conditioner. The house was cool enough when the temperature was moderately warm as the breeze came in ... but once it got hot and humid ... it was like being in an oven. And maximum temperature was 32. I'd hate to think what would happen in 40 degrees.
2. One star deducted because (1) only a small supply of toilet paper ... we had to buy more (2) we sent 3 messages through air bnb app asking for extended
checkout ... with other houses we've been granted it and had instant replies ... we got no reply until the day when a cleaner turned up when we were getting breakfast ... the owner admitted she hadn't checked the app but said we shouldn't have assumed it. We acknowledge we should perhaps have kept pushing it but even so ... not checking the app to respond to guests is very strange.
All that said ... a nice house and if they could get an air conditioner at least in the downstairs area ... and if the owner could be more diligent in future with checking the app ... we still recommend this place to stay. Just be clear with the owner and assume nothing.
