This tiny house is definitely tiny. The check in time isn’t until 5pm which we found surprising. We asked John if we could check in closer to 3 (the normal Airbnb check in time). His communication was a bit confusing but he did go out of his way to allow us to do this. However he requested we purchase laundry detergent, softener and soap for his house. We declined to do so as we weren’t even planning to use his washing machine. We’ve never had a host request those types of items and when he did so he made sure to tell us he had just paid someone $40 to clean the place “as a gift to us.” We stay in many Airbnb’s (7 total on this trip to New Zealand). Imagine if we had to buy all those items for others to use at all 7 Airbnb’s! The house was clean and safe however there was construction happening on multiple properties nearby during our stay. It seems the area is under a lot of new construction.
