The biggest criticism is the cleanliness. All of the tables had not been wiped, including the living area end tables. The stove top and range hood were left with greasy stains. The ensuite basin drain was black with what seemed like mould. I wanted to open the bedroom window but the sill was dusty and dead insects. The wine glasses had to be washed before use. The toilet brush in ensuite is broken.I am not sure who the host was..all our communication was via a no reply email which then took me to a safari site. The app link did not work. The responses, however were quick which was appreciated. And the check in instructions were easy to follow. I did need to request an email address however, to be able to post a photo.All in all, a lovely property but it needs a serious clean. Because of the uncleanliness, we feel we overpaid. ##### Helene B. Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Clas E. 6 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, location Disliked: Communication, listing accuracy #### Scaffolding Very nice unit, but totally surrounded by scaffolding, making balcony unusable. Opened bedroom blinds at 7am to find tradie standing immediately outside window! After numerous emails to host, including photo of tradie,still no response other than that they are “reviewing the situation. ##### Clas E.
