Just back from a lovely holiday in Tasmania. The (Prospect Vale) place was in a convenient location, close to shops etc. Communication with the host was super easy.
The cons - Re cleanliness we were not so impressed. There were 6 spiders that we found in various places. There was an espresso machine available but there were used coffee pods still in them (while this is not a major one I think would expect it to be cleared) - the more annoying thing was that there was no right sized cup able fit into the space to use the coffee machine. lucky we checked the dryer as it had a huge amount of lint that we had to clean before use (again not a major but you do not expect these things).
The three most disappointing things were
1. The shower - which we had to fiddle with for almost 10 mins as the water temperature just wouldn't get to the correct temperature (either burn your skin or a cold shower in Tassie)
2. There was a throw on the couch which my 8 year old wanted to wrap himself. The throw had a blood stain on it. Luckily we saw it before he cuddled in it.
3. And lastly we had travelled with 3 other families. The other two had booked closer to the city but when we booked this place, it was clearly mentioned breakfast included and we just thought that having young kids it would take the hassle out of one meal. Upon checkin though the host denied that breakfast was ever a service provided and said that it was the error by Airbnb. Again while this was not a deal breaker there was no apology and had we known this earlier we probably would have found someplace closer to the city with our friends.
We also chose this place as it had really good reviews so not sure why we had so many "misses". Hopefully this feedback is taken in a positive manner by the host and other families have a more decent experience than us.
