DETAILED AND HONEST REVIEW:
This is a good air BNB that is good value for money, but do keep in mind that it is a cheap stay for a reason.
PROS: The location is amazing, it is super close to everything and we walked everywhere during our stay. The views are lovely and check in/out is very easy. The host left us water bottles and snacks upon arrival, which was a nice touch. The beds were super comfortable and a good size in each room. Pretty clean too.
CONS: I believe communication with the host could be slightly improved. Once we were checked in, we realised that the hot water wasn’t working properly. The host responded quickly and said to wait a while, as there was apparently an issue with the hot water system in the building, but throughout our stay we had luke warm water (at best) and the water pressure is not strong at all. I messaged again about the hot water not working, plus the washing machine not turning on and never got a response back about that. The toilet flush button was stuck, so we could only flush one side and the Netflix/TV had issues where it constantly cut out; could not watch anything for more than 2 mins. In the grand scheme of things, they are all small issues but thought I’d note it down anyway.
IMPORTANT NOTE: You may miss this in the booking notes, but you are expected to provide photo ID of each guest (license or passport) and pay a $300 bond before check in. Something as simple as getting makeup on the white towels, not emptying the bins and doing the dishes before departure can affect getting all your bond back. I did get all mine back, but that’s because we spent an hour cleaning before we left. This wasn’t a problem for us, but it is something to consider before booking.
Overall, a pretty good stay but not quite 5 stars.
