Disliked: Listing accuracy
Good location and that is pretty much all that was ok , rest is just not to the basic standards, not to have shampoo, body wash, towels is just bad, this is a basic in any kind of accommodation , but to mention two small hand towels and bath mat is just pathetic, on the top of everything only one bed was decent rest of the beds were bad, uncomfortable and well overdue for replacement, and the price was not cheap by any means, definitely not coming back and definitely not recommended, darko
Fantastic location, nice home although has not had a decent clean for a very long time. Hair found on the couch when we first arrived. Basic cleaning would go a fair distance in making this stay a lot better. Quite disappointing as it would be an overall great place. Also not having an account on Netflix to watch movies ect should also be included in price as so many holiday destinations have this as standard.
