Jan 24, 2025 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, listing accuracy #### Alittle bit disappointing So location was spot on and the house lay out was good, but pool had heaps of bees around, the bedroom with the bunks is a big issue with the fan right above the kids head which is very dangerous and the steps on the bunk beds are barely stable. The master bedroom we couldnt access the balcony . So it wasnt the best. ##### Shady G.
