    Could do with a couple more facilities, small table and chairs.

    Very comfortable, clean and homely place. This is the second time we've stayed here and enjoyed it both times.

    The bed was a bit hard. The courier and the Uber Eats people dropped their packages off at our door, instead of the owner's.

    A very pleasant place to stay.

    The location is unbeatable, my friend and I really appreciated how close everything was. The space was lovely and clean, with excellent storage and new furnishings. We had everything we needed for a weekend visit. As noted in other reviews the accomodation is part of a private residence, and as such you can hear people moving around, but all at reasonable times - never in a way that disturbed us. For the value in comparison to other options in the area, this place is a real gem.

    - paper thin wall and door to main house, heard everything from host including morning routine at 5:30 am and dog barking - in general clean, but looking into detail there is quite some dust and dirt in every corner - quite early check out time at 10am, little flexibility when asking when asking for late check out (additional 30 min)

    - nice location close to the beach and city center but in a quite area - parking space directly in front of the accommodation - nice new bathroom - if needed, lots of storage space in walk-in closet

    The accommodation is an extension off the main house which is fine; however the sound proofing was not great and you could hear all the household noise (including screaming children) through the paper thin walls.

    Great location. Clean and tidy accommodation.

    I take accountability for not reading the description in full before booking, but I strongly recommend to add in the description that this is not suitable for family stay. Doesn't have Netflix or anything, just open TV. Also the space is too small for a family with a kid. The description clearly states it is only a room attached to a main house, but still I don't think suits for 3 people in any case. The location is Wonderful and absolutely clean and tide.

    I didn’t like that there was a 1 litre carton of milk that had been opened and wasn’t full in the fridge - left for our use. Obviously hadn’t been vacuumed in between tenants. Sofa bed was average. Spare blanket smelt like dog. Squeegee in shower mouldy - get a new one or don’t have one at all. No bag in kitchen bin, and mould in the bottom. No microwave. Have to wash dishes in the bathroom.

    Great location, close to the beach and shops. Comfortable bed. Modern, spacious bathroom. Good separate entry to unit, and easy access with a code. Off street parking right outside entry.
