Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2024 Verified ### 4/10 Poor #### Jesse P. 28 Oct 2022 Liked: Check-in, communication Disliked: Location #### Not suitable for families with children-Fleas!! Positives- the host had good communication and cheap. Sadly those were the only positives. The property looks good but we had numerous problems from the start of our stay. We had booked for a family of 4 for a week. On arrival there was only bedding for 2-we had to request bedding and the host had arranged for some to be dropped off that evening. we were given 2 light blankets and 2 pillows (no sheets). These weren’t warm enough so we had to buy warmer blankets. There is no fridge-dishes need to be washed in the bathroom but no tea towel or drying rack was provided to dry them-there is No fridge. There is a shared Driveway between 4 dwellings, it is steep and difficult to turn into the car park- First day a neighbour had blocked us in so had to door knock to find the owner. The bed is springy and the sofa bed is horribly uncomfortable. The keypad sensor on the door worked well for a couple of days but after that took a long time for it to turn on so we were stuck outside trying to get it to work. The wifi wasn’t strong enough to watch Netflix (or the tv was too old?) There were no instructions left at all so didn’t know what to do with rubbish that couldn’t fit in the small bin-we were charged $150 cleaning fee because We had received seafood on our checkout day but as we don’t eat seafood-we put it in sealed containers and doubled-up ziplock bags. Then placed in a Nike shoe box and Nike shopping bag with other rubbish. The cleaners said everything smelt of seafood which I don’t believe is true but there was nothing I can do about it. The worst part was the fleas in the lounge. My daughter had many bites all over after rolling around on the floor of the lounge for 20mins. ##### Jesse P.
