Review of place itself: Built on the balcony, this BnB has your own small room with a desk, your own separate bathroom- which you go outside the room to get to- and the kitchen itself is: a hotplate, microwave and kettle on top of drawers on an aired balcony with a roof. There is a small fridge which the host also uses. To wash your dishes, you have to go downstairs outside and use the outdoor basin.
Pros:
Cheap as chips
Host is friendly (until you have covid)
Bed itself is medium-hard so decent
Desk is great if you need to do some quick work
Own bathroom
If you need something extra, you can ask the host
Room itself is a decent size. I managed to squeeze in 3 big bags (moving to Sydney)
Cons:
Very cold if its raining or winter. I recommend bringing your own blanket or hottie if you are a small person.
Pillow really needs to be replaced,
As does the washing scrub for the dishes
You have to constantly ask for Tp- they give you one small roll at a time (so I gave up and bought my own)
Not super convenient to town
Review of the Host/Place Overall:
Every coin has two sides. On one hand, if you discover you have covid while you are here, this host will not follow isolation requirements and will stick to your departure date in favour of his other upcoming guests--- which makes no sense because you’d still be paying them. Its also dangerous bc if not cleaned properly, the next guest could catch covid. Having said that, this would be an appalling place to try recover as now that it’s raining, it’s extremely cold, so its probably for the best. But it leaves you to scramble, because your second place (not airbnb) is under no obligation to take you in. Terrible position to be in when sick. Host didn’t even offer a “sorry you’re unwell”.
Overall Im going to give it 3 stars because really, you cant beat this price at present.
