Clare’s place was well appointed, newly renovated with a nice bathroom. The place was clean. A few things to be aware of:
* We found the smell over powering. We thought it was cigarettes. Clare didn’t agree. At a minimum, the place needed a good airing.
* As this is a converted garage, the place is fairly dark with minimal air flow. The door / window looks onto the driveway / street so needs the curtains drawn for privacy, which further impacts light and airflow.
* The main house is directly above with minimum insulation. You cannot hear voices but can hear foot steps and a form of motor / insinkerator starting and stopping - particularly early morning and evening.
* There is a very small kitchenette without a sink. Guests are expected to wash up in a bucket, using the kettle to boil water.
* There was a sheet and empty doona cover on the bed. There were no blankets or anything to add warmth (I slept with a towel over me).
* There was no wifi or any access to tv streaming.
