The place is quite spacious and check in is really easy. We didn't hear from the hosts or receive any sort've welcome which was a shame, especially after such a long flight, we were hungry and knackered!
I'm a really light sleeper so i wouldn't recommend this place if you're the same (especially if you aren't an early riser). Its situated in the basement of the house so you can hear everything above you (lots of footsteps and voices). The boiler also kept me awake as it goes on and off throughout the night.
The area itself is lovely and quiet with a few cute little shops/cafes. I think it would be best having a car but you can walk around too (just avoid Hastings st as the hosts suggest).
The kitchen is great, plus the use of the apple tv if you fancy a cosy night in.
I can imagine a lot of people loving this place, its just a shame i'm not a great sleeper!
