Although I knew that the toilet andbathroom were shared, I didn't expect the toilet to be as far as it was from the room where I stayed (there's a garden in between). If you're like me and you occasionally have to go in the middle of the night, this may be a problem. The toilet is also separate from the shower (they're at opposite ends of the main house) and Jane said I would have to use the laundry sink to wash my hands and brush my teeth (since the toilet has no sink). There was no liquid hand soap at this laundry sink, just a bar soap that everyone in the house uses. So this was where I was expected to brush my teeth, wash my face, and take out my contact lenses. This was a bit of a shocker for me, since the two previous Airbnbs where I stayed shortly before this one (as I was travelling through the North Island) were similarly priced (or even cheaper) and had ensuite baths/toilets (one even had breakfast provided, and the other had snacks). They also had earlier check-in times so I didn't have to idle around town while waiting to check in. At least the room Jane provides is clean, the bed is comfortable, it's well-heated and it's situated in a quiet area so I got a good night's sleep. And Jane is friendly and helpful. As an airbnb guest, I don't demand that all these amenities be provided for me since I'm staying at someone's home, after all. But she could charge a bit less for what is offered.
