Hmm what an interesting place. The reviews of this place is so overwhelmingly positive that I feel like I need to talk a bit more about it. Let's go through some pros & cons.
Pros:
- Huge place. Like, way bigger than all the other places we stayed in. It has a breakfast room, a dining room, a huge lounge. Good value there.
- Good location to reach various areas of the valley
- Aircon is pretty good and was running the whole time
- Well-equipped kitchen, lots of stuff to use, nice touches there
- Parking!
Cons:
- I mentioned this to David as well, but this place really needs to be aired out and deodorized. There's a pretty strong smell that hits you as soon as you walk in the door. We kind of dreaded going back to the unit each day because of this.
- Parking is tricky. You park on the sidewalk itself, and have to squeeze between other cars to get in and out. Would be very difficult if you have a larger car.
- The place is so intricately decorated that we didn't really want to 'live' in the space as we didn't want to touch anything. It's a bit like staying at your grandparent's place where everything has been decorated over 5 decades and everything has a very precise place. It's a strange feeling, like this is not your place for a few days, but instead you are staying in someone else's place. For example, we didn't even use the lounge room as it just didn't feel like a space we were supposed to be in, if that makes sense. Probably just us being a bit weird, but maybe you'd like it?
Yeah, interesting. Overall it's a great place, and probably if it was aired out before we went in we would have liked it a lot more. Right before this we stayed at 3 different airbnb's that were all really awesome, so my opinion is informed by those comparisons.
Would I stay there again? No.
Would I recommend it? Hell, yeah, why not. Go stay there and just check it out cause it's just a really, really curious place.
