I always do my due diligence before booking a place to stay, especially for an extended (4+ day) trip. Reading the reviews, I felt comfortable renting this place however it did not live up to expectations.
Cons:
- Smell of cat litter & cigarettes
- House is falling apart (dirty oven, loose handles & vents, dusty, stains on the couch, low quality blankets)
- Encountered cockroaches 3 times
- Window in the bathroom, you can see right into the shower from parking space
- Shower pressure is TOO hard; painful if you’re sunburned
- 1 oz shampoo, conditioner, body lotion; not enough for a 6 days, so expect to buy your own (also 1 toilet paper roll with no extras)
- Kitchen basics: no oil, salt or pepper
- Cleaning fee is steep considering we had to wash all the dishes by hand for checkout to get the deposit back (dishwasher but no soap)
Pros:
- Big space
- Close to the beach and shopping
- Air con
- Large parking
- Quiet
- Fast internet!
- Full privacy, however part of duplex
