We had a great stay at Paul's house. It was the perfect size for us (2 adults, 2 children). The booking process was very smooth and easy - Paul provides clear instructions and is quick to reply to emails etc.
What we liked:
The outdoor area - nice to be able to sit out and have a bbq in the lovely garden. Also very useful for people with children as it was a decent enough space for them to burn off some energy during the afternoons.
Value for money - I looked at quite a few properties in Byron and found this one to be very good value.
Location - great location! Walkable to shops, beach etc. very close to Woolworths. In the immediate vicinity there are some great restaurants such as chichetti and o sushi. There was also a good Thai massage place just around the corner and a great organic shop too. We brought our car with us but if you are just hanging around Byron you could be without one at Paul's house.
Kitchen - I cook quite a bit when we do self catering and the kitchen was very well equipped.
To note:
One reviewer mentioned the school opposite as being a potential problem in terms of parking etc. I didn't agree. The house has off street parking and even the on street parking is so ample that there were still spaces available during the school rush hour. Also it is worth noting that there wasn't much noise at all from the school children during the days. Just a low hum of laughter and playing sometimes.
Additionally, It wasn't a problem for us but one thing to be aware of is that the house is on the corner of quite a busy road. There seemed to be some heavy coaches and trucks powering past some mornings and afternoons. However Byron is a busy place and given the amazing location of the house and the fair price we didn't find this too much of an irritant at all and it would not stop me booking again.
Thanks Paul!
