Sharin's place is mostly as described. It's a lovely little apartment with a lovely garden and spectacular view. However, we wouldn't rate if 5 stars for a few reasons. Firstly, the parking was just on street in front of her house and not a driveway as we were expecting. We did have some difficulties parking, particularly on trash collection day. It's very uphill with some narrow roads but they are quiet so we didn't have any issues accessing. The ad does mention some noise may come from upstairs, having spent a lot of time in shared accommodation we presumed this would be the occasional walking around that we could easily ignore, this was not the case. We at some points wondered if there was a bowling alley or elephant tap dancing class above us. There were some noisy kids on the weekend but given that it's their home we didn't feel we could say anything. Sharin did tell us to message her if it was too noisy which we did once (due to ukulele practice) but we didn't feel comfortable doing this every day. I think this wouldn't be an issue for a lot of people, and we did ignore it for the most part almost turning it into a running joke as we're early risers and as such have an early bed time. If you plan to be out until late at night I wouldn't anticipate this being an issue for you! The bed and towels were very clean but there were a lot of ants in the apartment, they seemed to stick to one path and didn't bother with our food though so we didn't mind. One last thing, although the apartment is advertised as "the whole house" the apartment is still accessed by the owners, while Sharin did tell us each time and it was never just for the sake of it (I.e wifi issues or to do laundry) it just wasn't what we were expecting, there was also one night we woke up at 2am o find a light turned on which wasn't on when we went to bed- a little creepy! Overall it was a good stay but these are little niggles I would liked to have known before I'd booked.
