Nice place! Big and amazing pool. Hosts seemed sweet caring and were very responsive to any issues - we did not meet in person. And they very kindly had a bottle of wine waiting! Lots of amenities in general like tv, kettle, great kitchen, microwave, coffee machine, awesome shower pressure and nicely renovated bathroom. So plenty of amenities and you will be comfortable during your stay! That is for sure.
But felt like standards were not really where they could have been (especially as the location is quite average - no view etc):
- on this instance the place wasn’t very clean. They kindly sent the domestic back to clean up after I sent them pictures etc but the place could use a deep clean I feel. Dust and bits of dirt in jars on cutlery and glasses and walls and side tables and inside wooden dining room table etc.
- In general I felt like a lot of seemingly unnecessary communication was needed since Netflix didn’t work, pool codes had changed, instructions on pool differed to what their automated welcome email told me, etc. sometimes I found communications unclear too. Even if all communications were quick, largely helpful, and very pleasant.
- lastly, the toilet paper was the thinnest type of 1 ply I have ever seen. (This is a symbolic comment!) Even worse than summer camp toilet paper I had as a kid. Sort of annoyed me: if you’re paying pretty decent money you’d want toilet paper and nice towels etc. not the case here. So don’t expect that sort of plushness or attention to detail which other hosts most provide when you spend over $100 per night 😬
But in general the place is spacious, very very well stocked kitchen, nice kettle, coffee machine worked eventually, comfortable couch and tv. We did eventually get Netflix to work. Bed is largely pretty comfy (even if pillows suck). And the host were very nice and smily via whatsapp (though would prefer fewer smiles and two - dare I say 3! - ply toilet paper). But it may not have the charm of other hosting experiences and other locations.
