Dan's place is really lovely. The little details he has created make the place truly unique. Although Grandmas furniture is a unique touch, why didn't people in the 60's or 70's want to be comfortable? Retro furniture is better in theory than in reality.
For the exorbitant price we paid as a couple, I did expect the place to be that little bit nicer.
Things that I expected, but were my fault:
- toiletries... every airbnb I've stayed in has provided shampoo and conditioner.. it does say on the description that these are not provided.
- perhaps the price was for 6 people rather than a couple.
Things I expected for the price:
- a hairdryer.. I've come to expect this at every place I've stayed. I ended up buying one and leaving it there for future guests (admittedly the lady we were in contact with offered to bring her hairdryer, but that seemed to be asking a little too much)
- queen size beds. I expected this due to the price. A double bed is frustrating on a holiday away and my tall partner's legs were hanging off the bed which was a little disappointing.
Without wanting to be a negative Nancy, I couldn't help but be upset with the amount we paid and what we got. For close to $300 a night, I expected more. For that same price with 6 people it would definitely be worth it.
Other than that, the kitchen is well equipped, the place was clean, I loved being able to look out on to the bush of south Hobart snd still be so close to the CBD and Mt Wellington. We did a lot of hiking and that bath was an absolute pleasure to sink into at the end of the day.
