Little disappointed
Liked: Location Fantastic Beautiful queenslanderQuirky
Disliked: Brian needs to wash pillows as the smell of stale sweat was unpleasant. I had to put a tee shirt over the pillow to cover up the smell of stale sweat, such a pity. Bread left in kitchen was mouldy on Monday morning otherwise everything was only OK after the pillow issue. I would love to have given it 10/10 but I couldn't after pillow and bread.

Overall, absolutely charming property and...
Liked: Lovely room on the lower level at the back of the property. Nice touch have an outdoor sofa and sun beds available, even if I didn’t use them. Shared kitchen with the other room wasn’t an issue. Lovely touch that cereal, toast, condiments, tea, coffee and bottled water available throughout the stay. Parking available on the street directly outside. Can get busy during peak times though.
Disliked: The only detractors here would be that while you have the rear of the property to yourself, I did see the owner in the garden a couple of times. It almost felt a little bit like an invasion of privacy at times. If you had the blinds open while you were getting out of the shower, it could potentially be a little embarrassing. The other couple of things is that as it’s a Queenslander, you’d often hear the owners walking around upstairs and the boards would creak and crack which could be an issue when trying to sleep. The TV from their lounge room could be heard from the bedroom directly below it, and you’d often hear the owners chatting on the upstairs verandah or in their lounge directly above. In any hospitality setting, bed sheets should never be black it makes you feel unclean when sleeping in the bed, and the bath towels were coloured and unmatched. Lastly, the shower had an awfully pungent smell coming from it. Not sure if the property is on a septic system or sewer, but it wasn’t particularly pleasant The host however was very welcoming and let me use his iron to iron a work shirt. Great communication between the host and I.

Pleasant
Liked: Really enjoyed our 3 days stay at the location. Very well maintained and clean property. If someone wants to experience a Queenslander style home with modern interiors this would be a perfect stay. Will book again if visiting the city.It has value for money and 10 minutes away from city centre. Host Brian was friendly and accommodating as well.
Disliked: None
