House described as retro, which is in keeping with the style, however, the house was in a state of disrepair and not clean. The first thing you noticed upon opening the front door, was an overpowering, mouldy, manky odour.
The bedrooms had reasonable bedding but the pillows did not all have internal covers and the pillows were yellow and stained. The spare blankets smelled revolting and could not be used, but were hung outside to air, and remove their odour from the house. Piles of dust under beds and even discarded ear plugs, from previous guests, on bedroom floor.
Carpet throughout the house was worn and in many places, completely threadbare. Cracked tiles in bathroom, which was damp with no exhaust fan. Entry steps were not entirely secure.
Kitchen was well equipped but nothing could remove the horror of discovering crockery, with a layer of mould.
Lovely view over rooftops, of ocean. Beautiful walk to rock, rubble wall, along a busy road, blocking access to beach. Fibreglass seals in gas heater in lounge room, were hanging uselessly inside heater, making it, in my opinion, unsafe to use.
Games room described in property description was a shed with a leaky roof, burnt out, rusted, unusable pot belly stove.
This house was in a reasonable location with plenty of potential, however, it appears, that there is no accountability or checks on quality. The house commanded a high price, way above the quality of the accommodation.
I have many photos to support my claims, unfortunately there is no capacity for them to be uploaded in this review. As a result of this unpleasant experience, I would be reluctant to book, through Stayz, in future.
