The accommodation is not currently suitable for a number of reasons. We found several live cockroaches throughout the house (bedroom, kitchen and bathroom) and whilst this is a sub tropical location, the cleanliness standards are low and the number of pests were too high for it to be simply chance unfortunately (several large cockroaches in our room for instance).

There are baits out to catch them which acknowledges the problem and efforts to rid but the root cause is general uncleanliness in the house. There are cob-webs, mold, peeling paint and the location of the fridge is in a dirty area.
The front and back doors are often left wide open (and most of the windows even when the house is vacant). This coupled with no locks on guest doors meant we felt very uncomfortable in terms of security. We feel this really needs addressing.
The view from the room overlooking Queens park is great and open with access to the balcony which is full of pretty plants. The room itself is basic but well sized and open - if not for the mold and pests and lack of fan it would have been excellent.
Petra herself was a good host in terms of responding to messages and issuing a full refund after we cancelled our remaining nights due to conditions. Her housemate was also a friendly chap who was helpful and personable. We have no issues with the hosts themselves as both were pleasant and helpful people.
The property is in need of work and is currently not suitable as a service at this moment in time in our opinion. Even on a budget we feel it isn't up to minimum cleanliness standards.
