Overall, it was a great place and I’d genuinely stay at Patrick’s place again in the future. The place was as described and Patrick was a very responsive host. Check-in instructions were clear as they get and the location is really great. On foot: bus stop is 2 mins away, train station: 10 mins (with limitless options of restaurants en route), and there’s a Kmart & Coles within 5 mins walk if you’re the type to travel and cook. Patrick’s kitchen’s got everything you need to cook most of the basic stuff.
Perhaps the biggest pain point I have to share publicly in this review is the 4pm check-in time, which is unreasonably very late into the day (compared to the industry standard of 2pm); whereas the 11am check-out time is slightly too early (again, industry standard is normally 12pm). There are some minor improvements that’d make the property a solid 5-star listing, which I share with Patrick privately, so I look forward to seeing those improvements the next time I visit.
