Paul's place is in one of the most lovely places I have seen in southern Australia, the Otago Pensinsula, 2 minutes from a walking path along the water and on the other side some of the most wonderful wild beaches in NZ. Absolutely amazing. There were a few problems however. To begin with, we did not receive instructions before arriving and we when arrived we noticed that someone was watching tv on the main floor. The ad for his place says that it is a studio but it would have been better to specify clearly that there are people staying upstairs; the person who showed us the apartment was very friendly but did not know who we were or what we reserved. The view from the upstairs room with a balcony was very nice but the decor seemed a little bit out of date. There was no regular coffee (only instant) and the garbage had not been emptied, which was very disappointing. Overall I would recommend this place for the location but the execution left something to be desired.
