We got the feeling that the owner thought the location (which is excellent - a block back from East beach - was enough, and that things like cleanliness and presentation don't matter. The house is tired and dilapidated, there was mouse shit through our bed, someone's wet clothes on the tank stand near the outside shower, cobwebs and dust everywhere. We rang Sam when we pulled back the sheets to get into bed the night we arrived and she said there was no sign of mice 'a few days ago'. After promising someone would bring sheets within half an hour, she rang back and told us where the key was to a cupboard that had clean sheets. There was no follow-up after this call. It's the little things that make a difference in accommodation, and for $300+ per night we expected more.
