This place has a lot going for it, but the overall condition was disappointing.
First the good: the location is excellent! You can walk to the beach and restaurants, coffee shops etc (about a 10 minute walk....though there is a rather steep hill on the way back). The parking is never a problem....we parked right in front of the house our entire stay. The large central room is commodious and conducive to group enjoyment. The shower is awesome...great pressure and water temperature. The beds are very comfortable (the sheets and pillowcases are not of good quality, so you might want to bring your own.
Now for the drawbacks: the place quite frankly is sorely in need of painting and updating. With some TLC it could be awesome, but right now it is rundown.
The kitchen needs to be better stocked. The tv was difficult to figure out. Our host did come over and explain, but I would suggest you ask for instructions prior to arrival. There are TVs in every room, but the ones in the bedroom are unreliable...lots of buffering. Also the WiFi...good in the common room but problematic in the bedrooms.
My biggest issue was that there were no laundry facilities on premise...granted it does not advertise laundry and I failed to ask, but when I rent a “whole house” I assume there is a washer and dryer....so be forewarned. There is a laundromat down the street, and there is a clean and fold service but you have to have a minimum of 20 pounds. Did not work for me. This would have been a deal breaker had I realized.
My suggestion would be that the host make clear washer/dryer is not included.
In sum, if you are looking for a place with a great location and don’t mind the condition, this is the place for you. But compared to other Airbnbs we have stayed at, this was a disappointment.
