    I would have liked a desk and chair to work at. The trip for the family was a pleasure trip, but I had to work during the day on my computer. It would have been nice to have a dedicated workspace. Oh, the kitchen needs a couple of rubber spatulas.

    Large rooms, ocean view, comfortable living room. Large beds.

    Very overpriced for 2. Odd entrance from the side of building, straight into one of the bedrooms which felt like a walk through bedroom. We didn't like the temporary curtain solution, nor the fact that we have to step right into a carpeted area with wet umbrellas and bags. Not practical in rain. No protection from rain on the outside of the entry door either. Very huge area but kitchen/ dining area especially, and the back bedroom feel as if in a basement. It is a walkout developed basement afterall. A hallowed cavernous feel to the accommodation. Garden very neglected. Owner aloof, didn't greet us when coming home at similar time and even noticed us from a short distance away. Unfortunately the neighbour from next doors made a nasty comment to us next day, without any provocation on our part or wanting to interact with him. He knew fully well we were the guests, as if unhappy he has bnb next doors. A weird experience with no warmth of a b&b which it tries to market and sell itself as. Size of accommodation is not what makes for a pleasant stay and hospitality lacks here. Felt as if it's all about $, and not being really guest friendly place, nor very helpful either.

    Very Spacious. Clean. Some nice views in the distance from the one bedroom. Unfortunately lounge has an overhanging deck. In a quiet neighbourhood.

    Said there was a fireplace but it looked like it had never been used. Should not advertise and then tell everyone to not use it. Hard to get into the space with uneven ground and steep steps to get your luggage into the place. Owner was there luckily and he took my stuff in. I have had an injury and they should let people know. Entry steep steps in with no bars to pull up. I had to crawl in and pull myself up on a couch.

    We also found an empty pop bottle by the beside table up arriving. The owner came down and aggressively banged on the door at 9pm, and we’re told to be quiet, our family friends had to leave with their children on NYE while playing a monopoly game - no music was being played and we were not overly loud. They said the property wasn’t built well for sounds.. and the children were laughing to loud :( They also said it was a villa- which should be detached.. it was not. Add was misleading, saying we had the entire home, when they lived upstairs

    The entrance way was unclear, junk outside the door, but the view was ok, there were plastic pails and a messy unkept yard with old junk laying around took away from it

    Nice quiet neighborhood AirBnb-type stay. Expensive cleaning fee.

    This is more AirBnB and staying in someone's guest basement/house. Main house activity can be heard and wasn't sure if we could use the backyard or a patio as that was part of their house. A cat roams freely around the back yard. There is a strong cat urine odor in the apartment. The lighting is a bit strange; in the whole living room there was only one main, very bright, overhead light. Extremely high cleaning fee but still asked to clean dishes before leaving.

    Door code for key lock was helpful. The location was beautiful with big windows overlooking the back yard and water. Full kitchen with all appliances. Comfortable bed and nice bathroom.
