The house is located on a street that has had numerous security issues. Neighbours have had their houses and cars broken into and ours were also broken into during our stay. After speaking to neighbours the local police department it seems this is due to a house within close proximity housing recently released prisoners, in which was raided by the police during our stay. The air conditioning unit (evaporative cooler) is ineffective for the top level, even with multiple windows open to facilitate its effectiveness. There is no air conditioning at all downstairs which becomes extremely hot and unbearable. We were unable to leave doors open as there are no fly screens, lots of mosquitos and moths. A bath top held together by a screw which came loose throughout our stay. A fridge which has a fridge door that has dropped about 1cm below the freezer door and did not keep milk and drinks cold. A cupboard draw that was falling off its runners and nearly injured my son.
After all of this feedback and additional costs occurred on our family vacation the host insisted we pay the fee of the locks being replaced as a key was stolen from our car when they were all broken into. After paying $2135 for accommodation, $50+ for ice as the fridge was not working effectively it was very disappointing for us to not be reimbursed for our disappointing experience.
