This was my first time using Airbnb and I'm so glad I used it. My family (4 adults + 1 one-year old) rented Earnslaw 3 for three days while we were in Queenstown and it was well worth the price. It had an amazing view of the lake...might even be one of the best views since the apartment is located on a higher street meaning you get a higher vantage point as opposed to a view right in front of the water. I guess it's just a matter of personal taste.

Although this was an apartment rental, it was setup like a hotel. Everything was nice and clean and extra towels and bedsheets were prepared in advance. The beds were super comfortable and had heated blankets and a space heater next to it. Kitchen had all the utensils we needed.

Location is also fantastic - just a 2-3 minute drive from the center of Queenstown. We had a rental car, so it was easy to get to. If you don't have a car and plan to walk, it might be a bit of a walk, but if you enjoy exercise, it'll be a nice 15-minute walk to Queenstown.

Last but not least, Pauline was excellent about getting in contact and being responsive. She was super kind and understanding although I missed her phone call and called her back late at night after hours.

All in all, I highly recommend this apartment!
