If you’re looking for a spot that’s close to the ocean, and you’re planning on doing very little other than using this spot as a bed, you’re gonna be just fine. I however don’t believe this “plekkie” offers value for the price that is being charged.
You will share your patio with dogs, dog food bowls and laundry on occasion – even underwear gets hung out on the patio furniture. Sometimes you’ll even share your patio table with cabinetry craftsmen. The patio is also the houses main entrance and exit – so you will have people coming and going right next to your bedroom at all hours, yes even at 1am.
The kitchen has no counter space to prepare food – you might get away with making a sandwich, if you use a small plate. And there’s not hot tap in the kitchen, so washing dishes means boiling a kettle. The fridge door and front door fight for the same space, so you can open one or the other – not both.
Our towels were smelly when we arrived, and the place has a bit of an unkempt feel to it, cracked tiles, mould in the bathroom, dirty paint… just feels a bit neglected.
A lot of the things that are listed on the Airbnb site are simply not there – no hangers, no iron, no hairdryer, no fans, no heating, no BBQ Grill.
There is no art on the walls nor rugs on the cold tile floors – maybe this works for summer, but just contributes to a feeling of being a bit of an afterthought. They also like to tell you after arriving that they’re busy with renovations – so prepare for raw plaster on the walls, and a lot of building material lying around.
Not worth it, nor recommended.
