We really loved our stay at Ray's place. It was exactly as the photos showed - clean, tidy and modern, but it was a pleasant surprise to see the range of amenities that were offered. So often the AirBnB's have great kitchens, but next to no kitchen equipment. Not this one - there was everything you needed to cook a family meal in the gorgeous kitchen (even paper towels, salt, oil and balsalmic vinegar).
Both bathrooms were lovely and so nice to have washing machine and dryer.
The second bedroom had been made up into a king size bed which did not work for my teenage son and his little sister. Ray was so kind to come and drop off extra bed linen to make up the sofa bed at 8pm on a Sunday night. We so appreciated this.
The location is great, a very easy downhill walk to town and we all found the uphill walk home quite doable. Much easier than trying to find a park in town!!
The only drawback was the lack of sound insulation between the apartments. We could definitely hear the people above and below. I am not a good sleeper so I brought ear plugs which worked well. If you were planning to sleep in late, the noise from above could pose a problem, but we were up early so it was not a huge hassle. The benefits completely outweighed any issue there.
Thank you Ray and Ivan for your thoroughness with setting up a lovely Air BnB! We will definitely be back
