Overall we enjoyed our stay at Anna’s. It’s significantly cheaper than other places in the area although still not super cheap and we felt that we didn’t get great value for the reasons below.
What we liked:
central on the peninsula (although not really walkable to the Rye beach due to the big hill it takes about 15-20 down and longer back) and a short drive to the rye supermarket meant this this was a convenient base for our trip. There’s also a big back yard (although it needs a bit of decorating to make it more welcoming). The property was also clean and comfortable enough although basic. We had the property to ourselves for most of our stay even though normally the hosts are upstairs. Anna was every responsive and checkin was fuss free.
What we thought could be improved:
the property lacked a lot of things you come to expect in an Airbnb that would have made our stay much more convenient and welcoming and are not expensive, for example: basic cooking oil, cling film /foil, a few more cooking implements like cutting boards and knives, salt and pepper and a coffee plunger. We stayed for a week and booked for 4 adults but were only given a few rolls of toilet paper. Things like a dustpan (to go with the broom) were missing. The barbecue was charcoal which should have been indicated as it is inconvenient so we didn’t end up using it despite looking forward to summer barbecues - we expected gas. The oven did not work at all.
