There is no doubt that Ruth and Steve were the best hosts we have ever had in Airbnb!
The flat was pre-warmed for our arrival, with a vase of fresh flowers, chocolates, and a nice card for my wife's birthday left at the table. A key feature was that the house was simply spotless! I don't think I have ever seen a hospital room that was as clean as Ruth and Steve's flat was!! Seriously, you could probably eat out of the bathroom floor. They certainly set a standard of cleanliness that we will now aspire to for own own house…
The house was dry, warm, well furnished, and extremely well lit! It is located in a quiet and peaceful cul-de-sac, but still well located to access all of Taupo's many attractions.
Ruth and Steve were incredibly accommodating and helpful. Even went out to take some pictures of our skydiving adventures.
Lastly, make sure you take time to appreciate Steve's stunning pictures on the walls of the flat. You may want to do as we did, which was buying two of their beautiful native bird pictures to decorate our own wall at home.
We are 100% certain that we will be back to stay at Ruth and Steve's place.
