Whilst we had a good stay I can't give this listing 5 stars.
To start off with the positives, the apartment is a great size, the towels are hotel grade, the kitchen is well equipped, there are plenty of brochures of tourist activities available and the beds are comfortable.
Now to the downsides. Unfortunately we didn't discover until after booking, if the electricity that has been prepaid by the host runs out you need to top up at your own expense. Whilst we didn't run out, the thought of having to top up was not ideal. I have never come across this in any airbnb before.
Wifi is an option in the apartment but again at your own expense. You have to go and purchase a sim/data yourself to use with the router available in the apartment. When you are arriving close to 9pm at night after travelling for 7 hours with no local handphone this is an inconvenience. If this was incorporated into the cost of the apartment and already set up by the host before arrival it would be much better. A traveller wants as minimal hassle/running around as possible when in a foreign country and visiting for a short time.
Other little touches like soap for the shower, tea, a hairdryer (little homely things) were not available. Also there were hairs all over the sink and on top of the toilet upon arrival.
Finally the photo of the garden is not up to date. Whilst we appreciate that the area is in drought the garden is nothing like the picture and if the picture is there to help sell the place it is then misleading. What grass there is, is over due for a trim and the pool cover is filthy making any thought of taking it off to dip our feet in disappear.
Communication with Lee and Bruce was absolutely fantastic and I can't fault them. They gave clear checkin instructions and were in touch the whole stay. The lightbulb in the bathroom was out and they responded and repaired asap.
Again this is not to say we didn't have a good stay as we did, but after travelling with airbnb over the world these other things didn't meet prior standards we have experienced.
