The unit was very clean. The first thing we did was turn off the air freshener and open all the big windows, and it quickly filled with glorious fresh sea air. The beds were comfortable. And the view does indeed have a wedge of sea in its views, which is special for inlandlubbers like us.
The unit was a touch bland, with some great pictures on the walls but not quite enough - it didn't feel as fancy as the photos suggested.
The guest booklet felt heavier on the 'how to keep our house clean' tips than the 'how to relax and have a great time' tips, and so too messages from the owner added to the bombardment - where the vacuum cleaner is, please put out the rubbish, put the bin out on the road, collect the bin from the road, etc. Going away is a state of mind; of course you shouldn't be a slob, but when you're paying a $110 cleaning fee you should be able to relax a bit.
Similarly, the instructions mention all the defects with an 'old' washing machine. Our stay wasn't long enough to have to use it, but let's be frank, when the owner is raking in over $700 for a two-night stay then it shouldn't take too long to save a grand to lash out on a new machine.
Linen and towels were provided but there didn't seem to be a hand towel other than a slightly stained facewasher and two bathmats, one a little stained again.
Very minimal food was provided, not living up to the 'nb' part of 'Airbnb', and we were instructed to replace any of the scant items - such as tomato sauce and oil - if we used them, which isn't realistic or fair.
So, overall, a few irritating aspects, but no major dramas, and we enjoyed our stay.
