    Lighting could be a little brighter at night for reading but the ambience is lovely.

    The house was very cozy and had private access to and from the property with its own private bathroom and study and kitchenette, with an external entry which was perfect! Well equipped with food supplies and linen, towels and accessories! Overall, I was greeted warmly by the hosts, who were both extremely helpful and friendly, sharing their local knowledge and experience of where to eat and shop. A fabulous location with a short walk to beach, shops and the local hotel. The bedroom even was delightful with a rear cottage garden surrounded with interesting electic art works.

    Everything was great! Unfortunately, we only stayed one night, but if possible we would have stayed longer. This was the first time we rented shared accommodation and we were not disappointed at all. It felt like home - there are you and your neighbors behind the wall. I would also like to pay attention to the decoration of the rooms and the overall atmosphere - everything is neat and clean, and many small trinkets only add to the cozy atmosphere. We were with a dog - there were no problems either.

    Everything was great. We enjoyed visiting with Caz and Kevin.

    Caz is a great host. She met us out front and directed us to our private entrance to the home. We rented 1 bedroom, but were allocated one bedroom to sleep in, one bedroom to store our luggage in, a toilet and bathroom, a kitchenette, and an office/day room. The hosts live at the home, but in a different part of the house that is separated by a locking door. Our host provided fresh eggs for breakfast, an egg poacher, bread, and all sorts of cereal and breakfast items. The bathroom has a soaker tub and massage shower.

    Only issue we had was finding the exact street address because the calendar link from Booking.com didn't have the number. Went back through quite a few emails to pin it down - at least we'll know for next time.

    Felt like a home away from home. Had the place to ourselves. Didn't even need to bring snacks, soap, towels or hand cream so we packed very light. Slept well as it is a quiet neighborhood. Nice hot shower.

    Caz greeted us so warmly, and throughout our short time there she got the balance between "in your face" and aloof perfectly! The place is clean, comfortable and cosy. Bed was superb. Brekky quite adequate.
