A disappointing booking. This was listed as an "entire home/apt" however it is actually attached to the owners house, with a shared door (with the handle taken off so you cannot access her house.) While is does have its own ensuite and kitchen (like a granny flat or a guest wing) it is not an "entire home/apt". It is not even a separate dwelling.

As somebody who is quite shy, I don't like the idea that there may be someone just on the other side of a door. I had only searched for properties listed as "entire home/apt" and was quite surprised when I turned up to find this was attached to the owners house, where she was presently staying. While I'm not a loud person I prefer not to have to think of much noise I will make or if I'm keeping a household awake.

The guest wing is lovely and well kept. It is in a good location. It was just not we booked, so we didn't end up staying. Ultimately we couldn't find different last minute accommodation and went back to Melbourne (6pm on a Friday is never the best time to be looking for a place to stay on a sunny weekend at the Peninsula!) The next week, after putting in a formal "Dispute" form on Airbnb, I did get a refund from Dot. But its not even the money that mattered, I'd just been looking forward to a relaxing weekend away that didn't end up happening.
