Whilst I enjoyed my overall stay at Mary’s place, it’s only fair to provide an unbiased review of my experience there.
Getting the key was rather easy as it was a lockbox, so check in was smooth. At first we realised the location wasn’t close to the main town at all but we had a car and knew we weren’t super close when we booked. The surroundings are really nice and neighbourhood quiet. There’s no A/C in the house so at first it was extremely Hot inside and we had to open all the windows to allow it to ventilate.
There’s also a small fan in the bedroom with an en-suite, which helped a little, but overall we found it still got a bit hot in the rooms and sleeping with the windows open wasn’t ideal as it would cause us to wake up with dry throats / deal with the wind blowing the blinds around making noise.
The unit itself is nice, the bathroom very nice. Everything you need is there.
One issue we had and I doubt this is typical / to be expected was that they’re building another unit/town house and the builders were around from morning til afternoon.
There was a fair bit of noise early in the morning on a couple of the days we stayed, one in particular around 7-8am we were woken by hammering of nails into wood which obviously disturbed my sleep. I contacted the host about this and the noise eventually stopped (unfortunately we were already awake by that point), and the remaining days were fine.
Also the bed is VERY soft which can be comfortable for some and bad for others (I woke up with a bad back one of the days), so be mindful of that.
Overall I recommend this place if you’re ok with driving to and from QT and need a 2 bedroom unit!
