This is a nice place, and well located. It’s a 10 minute drive to the city, and also 10 minutes from MONA.
The host was lovely but a little disorganised. Although check in is advertised at 3pm, when we arrived at 3.45pm the host was still packing up the property and getting ready to leave. Before leaving, the host requested that we look up when the bins are collected from the property. We found that the bins should have been collected on the morning of our check in, so we couldn’t take the bins out. The bins were entirely full, which ordinarily would be ok, but the bins appeared to contain seafood waste which attracted a lot of flies.
Overall, we enjoyed our stay here, but there are some things that guests should be aware of that weren’t included on the listing when we booked (some of these things have now been added to the listing). There were parts of the property that we were told not to use, such as the rumpus room (which is the only entry point for two of the bedrooms) and the two onsite parking spots (though street parking is available). There were also some wardrobes in the rooms that were locked/full, so we couldn’t hang our clothes up. The freezer was entirely full, and there was no room for us to store food there. The fridge was mostly full - we had to reorganise the fridge to make room for our food. There were also rules about what we could and couldn’t do at the property, such as not drinking coloured beverages on the couches.
On two occasions (once with permission), the host returned to the property to collect personal items or park her car.
The host includes bath towels, hand towels and linen, but expects you to collect all the towels and strip the linen at the end of your stay and place them in the laundry. We had to purchase some basic necessities, such as dish washing tablets and garbage bags, as they were not provided.
This was still a nice stay, but ultimately it felt more like we were house sitting for the host rather than having an ‘entire place’ to ourselves, as advertised on Airbnb.
