Whilst we were happy to find that Paul's place had the beautiful view of Queenstown advertised, we found the place to be lacking in other areas.
The place was very dated, particularly in the kitchen and bathroom areas. The entire place also was extremely cold (despite two heaters being provided), dingy and unclean, most noticibly in the bathroom where we found many dead bugs on the windowsill. The bathroom in particular also had a horrendously bad smell, possibly from the drains which we reported as soon as we realised.
Paul's partner came but only to report that they couldn't detect the smell and there had never been a complaint previously. We since found 6 reviews complaining of smell in the apartment, so we felt lied to and let down in this respect.
Upon arrival we were additionally asked to be respectful in keeping noise to a minimum as the hosts live above. We made a conscious effort in light of this, however unfortunately we found this wasn't reciprocated by the hosts. On our last night, the hosts had friends over causing us to be awake to the early hours, which we found frustrating as we had a very early start the next day. A simple message to let us know wouldn't have gone a miss.
Overall felt disappointed and let down by our stay here :(
