    Light switches were a little tricky to use at first, couldn’t find the washing machine and no tv.

    Very tidy and relaxing place to hang out great option while visiting the city of Brisbane a quick walk into south bank from kangaroo point.

    I would recommend getting a vacuum as that one didn't work, didn't pick up anything off the floor. Vacuum I would recommend is $35 from Big w, as I've bought one in the past. Empty the expired food out of the fridge left from other people whom stayed out of the fridge I removed and put in the bin. Instructions above the coffee machine for use.

    Great location, nice view, home away from home feeling.

    Other guests had the ability to lock us out of the laundry area. They did this and then left the building, and we weren’t able to retrieve our laundry for hours. When we got in finally, we had items missing from our laundry.

    Comfortable, feels very homey. Good kitchen and eating area.

    Lack of air-conditioning down stairs. Fans needed cleaning. One bedside drawers and one of the beds had broken legs. Verandah railing needs urgent repair in places as it has rotted through. Lawns needed mowing. The neighbours dog barks a lot (not property owners fault) Frozen bread was not what I expected when it said breakfast was included.

    Close to the city, quiet area. Direct access to parks and running tracks. Clean, spacious kitchen & dining area inside and relaxing area on the verandah.

    No issues at all.

    We had a great time! It's a great stay in a quiet neighborhood not too far from the CBD/ inner city.

    The mattress was a bit on the soft side (but I guess this is more of a personal preference thing, since my partner loved it). The public transport into the CBD/ inner city is a bit spotty on the weekends (however, an Uber costs between 5-20$ if you're in a hurry; so that's not too bad).

    Beautiful charming house in a nice and quiet neighborhood. The bedroom, bathroom, and kitchen were squeaky clean. The supplied breakfast was varied and there was plenty of it. The self check-in and check-out was fast and unproblematic.

    Has a lot of charm, has everything you need if you were getting settled into arriving into aus like i was and may not want all the noise from being in the city, its by a park also and a nice walk. Even though it seems a little way from central you can literally hop on a bus on the main road, its only a 5 min walk. The hosts were excellent and it made you feel just like being at home

    The walls are thin, you could always hear people in bedroom next door and in living area. Also the basin is in public area so you can’t brush your teeth in private.

    It had everything I needed, it was comfortable and has a great shower.
