Good location & comfortable house size for our group of 7.

Very disappointed with the check in process, did not receive check in code & had to wait for more than an hour for entry. Unable to contact host. Three failed attempts to contact Stayz (Call centre in Phillipines) & finally received code on the fourth attempt. Inside of house relatively clean, however, we were disappointed with the exterior. The 1st 2 days were very warm & we wanted to sit outside, however, the outdoor setting was falling apart & the standard of the garden was poorly maintained. Lacked some basic maintenance inside and out.

Great space, large lounge and family rooms, reasonably equipped, needs a full length mirror installed, perhaps on the back of the bathroom door. Water pressure in the showers was poor. No top sheets on the beds
