The location was really convenient, with easy access to transport as well as nearby shops and entertainment.The property mostly matched the description. It’s an older-style home, so a bit dated in places, but that wasn’t an issue for us. One thing to note is that one of the bedrooms is positioned above the garage, which may not suit everyone depending on your needs.Overall, the place was clean and comfortable. The only downside was the outdoor area, where there was occasionally a noticeable smell from an open wastewater grate.Check-in was smooth, and the host was great to deal with, even allowing us to check in early which we really appreciated.The price felt slightly on the higher side, but in line with similar properties in the area.Overall, a solid stay in a great location with a helpful host.

Pros: House had a lovely old meets some modern charm.Beds beautifully comfortably. Pool was clean and great for kids. Host was polite and friendly and walked through issues.Issues: Plates and mugs were extremely dirty, like someone used mugs for coffee and only rinsed it, so had to wash all dishes and cultery before use.Some issues with garage door which was not relayed in instructions provided but host walked through as best as he could.Recommdations and ideas: need some cooking and baking trays for bbq, oven and grill as none available for large group staying. Gas lighter needs filling as empty. Advertised for up to 12 but not enough room inside to sit on during extremely hot day. Kitchen's dish towels not absorbent- cotton ones highly recommended, we had use paper towel which was not ideal.Low on garage bagsMissing toilettries downstairs bathroom, would be great to maybe provide faces washes aswell.Hand soap in bathrooms needs topping upNeed more dish tablets soonFan not working in middle bedroom upstairs and please check air con as setting was set to cold but it never cooled room.Cleaning equipment would be great to have all together. Mop/bucket, broom, dustpan and brush with floor cleaner put in one area please.Instructions need updating as some points are now obsolete.Thank you
