As an Airbnb owner this is our take.
Our stay was just okay. The apartment is a bit tired, dirty carpet, stained shams on the bed, marked up walls and minimally decorated. Could have been my error, but was unable to over ride the heating unit and no instructions to be found. (Forced to open windows and doors to cool off) Rules were excessive, locks on trash cans, no Netflix, only local TV with no instructions.
This apartment lacks an owners personal touch; that is a big miss based on all our other airbnb stays in NZ for the past few weeks.
A plus, view is beautiful and parking our car was hassle free. Ray’s communication was great.
