The appeal of this property is definitely its location - 2 minutes to the beach hotel/shops; 15 seconds across the road to the beach. You can really do everything without having to drive. The layout and space is fantastic - not cramped at all, and the terrace/balcony was great to relax on! The host was also super responsive and very friendly
Having said that, it does feel like it's starting to show its age a bit - one of the toilet cisterns was running (fix arranged super fast by the host!), the handle on the main bathroom door doesn't work properly (so the door doesn't stay closed), the main couch was a little unstable (I suspect the legs may have been broken, then repaired etc) and the kitchen appliances were quite basic and old. Also note that smoking has definitely happened inside (I know this can agitate some people!)
If you're looking for something super fancy, this probably isn't the place for you. But, if you're pretty chilled about these sorts of things (you're in byron right?), and don't spend much time in the place except for sleeping, you'll get by fine!
