The property was excellent for our needs. The carpet and windows could do with a clean, the garden needs some love. But it was perfectly adequate for my husband and I and two adult children and a dog. Good value and close to a good dog park. Perfect spot, roomy and full of light if you are not too fussy!
The place was filthy, stains on the carpet dirty windows. Broken doors & the garden was over grown so couldn't use it. Also 2 cars in garden that host said were being moved, but after looking properly in to it they have been there for months. Photos used in the advert on website are years old, from when the property was sold 2 years ago, so very misleading. Had no communication from host. Would not recommend staying here at all. We were very disappointed.
Host was non responsive and the house was not what it was described in listing. Rundown house, filthy carpet, broken door handle, broken shower head, unusable furniture, no manual for house wifi/ rules, ant problem in kitchen, derelict cars left in backyard and completely neglected garden which was one of the amenities listed.
