    Nothing really but some basic instructions on how to work the washing machine and dryer would have been helpful. A couple of small armchairs or seat cushions on the dining chairs would have made it a bit more comfortable.

    Very clean and tidy.Comfortable bed Great to have a washing machine and dryer

    We can't really think of anything we didn't like. Maybe if you were there specifically for a beach holiday, an ocean front place would be better but it's not far to walk to the the beach.

    The property was bright, clean, tastefully furnished and had all the facilities you would expect for a comfortable stay. The host was friendly and helpful. We would certainly stay there again. It's very close to Avarua, the Airport and the Hospital.

    Unfortunately we didn’t get to meet the host but the facilities are excellent. Highly recommend and we would definitely stay again. Beautifully designed and decorated villa. Would have loved to stay longer especially if we had been able to rent a car. Really appreciated the attention to detail. Thanks

    A coffee plunger would be a great addition to all the other great cooking facilities.

    Maria was so lovely and has done such a brilliant job with the studio- it is beautiful, modern, clean, spacious! There is even a room to put luggage in. Just a short walk away from Black Rock and Social Centre, with some of the most incredible snorkeling on the island. Lovely little deck outside looking onto the garden. Great to have mosquito net screens. It felt like every detail was thought about. Maria was so kind to offer us a lift as she was driving past us, she made us feel so warmly welcomed in Rarotonga, such incredible hospitality!

    I loved the little things that made the stay enjoyable. From the kitchen cookware and homeward set, to the bathroom and bed, it was the best stay I've had on the island and I've been around most air bnbs.

    Quite a bit of traffic going past often with curtains that did not block out lights at nighttime.

    Great cooking facilities and a decent size fridge. Was able to freeze drink bottles. Location was good. Within walking distance to the beach and a food truck with the best fresh fish and chips - yellow fin tuna and marlin.

    We landed late at night. It was difficult to find the property in the dark. would have been nice if there was a directions map as a part of the check in email and some lights outside the property.

    Very neat and well maintained property. comfortable stay for a couple.

    A super clean villa close to the airport. Well equipped and spacious. We only stayed the one night before flying home, but would recommend for longer stays also. Located close to Black Rock beach and lots of eating places not too far away.

    Only thing that we had a problem with was finding the place late at night. Only because Google maps done work very well on the island. But stay and Unit was great. Highly recommend. Many thanks.

    The unit was excellent, everything you needed was there. Well setup and very comfortable. Would definitely stay again.
