On my arrival I was warmly greeted by Marise. She gave me a tour and provided me with information about the local area. She showed me some features of the dwelling. She said that if there was anything I needed, I should just ask. The dwelling was exactly ask shown in the Airbnb photos. The section was were maintained and I was introduced to its resident cat, Parker.
Grant came to call shortly afterwards and while chatting, I said that I was here to view the Napier Sea Walls mural exhibit. Grant immediately went and printed out a copy of the a mural location map. This was very helpful and appreciated.
During my stay my privacy was respected. I was in a separate dwelling that was part of the appeal so I could come and go without disturbance to the household. My hosts had considerately hung fairy lights on the road frontage gate and strategically around the approach to the dwelling which made finding my way home after dark a lot easier.
The dwelling was warm, quiet and comfortable. I slept well. The bathrooms were clean and the shower had very good water pressure. The kitchen was well appointed.
I found the internet reliable and the television easy to use. There were instructions provided with were easy to follow.
Grant and Marise were very friendly hosts and we had some very pleasant exchanges in passing. I found the whole Airbnb experience to be very positive.
