There are pros and cons to this listing - I'll try to provide a balanced review.
Advantages
1. Location: The location really couldn't be any better. As advertised, it really is close to everything that matters in Torquay.
2. Clean: The room is fairly new and it has been looked after very well. It's always nice to find a clean bathroom!
3. Water Pressure: So often the water pressure in Airbnb places is almost useless. That isn't the case here.
Disadvantages
1. Check In: The lock on the door isn't easy to work. We called, sent messages and waited...no one got back to us for three days. We had messaged prior to arrival to seek clarification, but the message we got back was very polite but still ambiguous.
2. Ceiling Height: I agree, that's an odd one! But if you are tall you won't enjoy using the toilet or the shower - the sloped ceiling is definitely in the wrong spot.
3. Parking: When booking we were told parking was available until 20 March. There were cars in the garage all weekend, so this wasn't possible. We always found street parking nearby, but it's frustrating to pay for something that wasn't really part of the deal.
Overall
Would we return? Probably not. The owners are very nice people, but when they leave at 6.30am you'll know about it - the room is above the garage, and it literally shakes as they leave.
