House was great. Was disappointed after booking to find out the extra conditions. No sheets or towels, and key pick up and drop off 7km away. These should be in shown before people make the booking. I have never stayed at one where it is so difficult to access the keys.

Nice but dirty
The house was nice we liked it. But there was too much spiders and cockroaches in the corners of the bedrooms. The internet was cutting off. The fridge wasnt keeping the items cold. For the price we paid, we expected for there to be clean sheets already provided for us. Not happy with this. We all had to bring our own bedsheets 10 people, and this was very annoying. We dont like this idea.
