“Disappointed and felt misled.”
Very misleading as this was advertised as an apartment but is too rooms in someone’s house with upstairs not seperate or with locked doors. We didn’t get the msg re the property details. We had to leave straight away and lost 2 nights of accomodation. We should have only list one night. Very disappointed.

“It was a warm, homely stay.”
A lovely warm friendly welcome and assistance with luggage up the stairs. We liked the spacious room and warm heaters and electric blankets on a cold rainy night.

“Exceptional and novel, highly recommended”
I adored the homely and welcoming atmosphere, made evident by the homemade granola (best cereal that I have had in 38 years of life) and milk, teas, blankets (on the sofas and in the bedroom), etc. The host even helped me to hoist my large suitcase up the stairs. The studio is so spacious that I would actually call it an apartment. While there is no kitchen sink, the bathroom sink is sufficiently large that it can be utilized for washing dishes. The hosts have thought of everything; they even supply a basin and dishwashing liquid. If your budget is 150 per night or below, you cannot do better than this. Previous reviewers are nitpickers, honestly. This is a home away from home. It was a bespoke sojourn.

“As written above”
The location was great for us to access the city, coast and surrounds. The hosts were very welcoming allowing us into their home and helpful on info of their area. The place was very clean and comfortable, no kitchen facilities but the hosts were happy to take our dishes and clean them each day. Fresh cows milk and homemade muesli was a wonderful welcome gift.
