Unfortunately we had a mostly negative experience staying at this property. The listing was not as described on Airbnb- the property next door must have recently been demolished and has now become a construction site/ rubbish dumping ground for the apartments being built directly behind the property. Therefore we endured a very unpeaceful, disturbed stay with extremely noisy machinery at our bedroom windows early in the morning and a terrible view of rubbish and machinery from the back verandah. Apart from that, there were workmen invading our privacy staring over from the property behinds balconys where they were working, a huge crane was directly over our heads when sitting on the back verandah, and sewerage stench from the portable toilet just next to the property fence on the construction site next door. The house itself on the inside was as described, and had all the utensils you need for a convenient stay and we would have been very happy if these other issues were not apparent. We never met the owner who was only available through message and we were referred to the minimal English speaking cleaner for communication, she introduced us to the house though didn't explain any of the utensils which were not straight forward such as washing machine, hot water system or dishwasher (we're Australian and the functions of these were different at this property). Hence we had to contact the owner directly after all, with replies delayed as she was on her boat with intermittent phone signal. We did receive a 25% refund for the inconveniences but we would not have stayed had we known we would have to deal with that- even with the refund the property was still too expensive considering the disturbances. To make things worse when we left the owner contacted us to request money to cover cleaning for sand on the floors (which we had vacuumed) a stained bedsheet, and a damaged IKEA under bed storage box. (very cheap) I was not provided with evidence of any of these and felt it was likely a way to retrieve some of the money the owner had had to refund us previously. Considering our experience I would have thought that the owner would be a bit more decent than to trouble us with this.
