Jan 29, 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect for us Our family travelled to Adelaide from various locations around Australia to celebrate our youngest's 21st birthday. This house gave us a base to meet, get ready and then relax and recover the next day! We enjoyed having the large outdoor table to relax around and the pool to cool off in. The area is very quiet and surrounded by trees, making you forget that you're in the city, however shops and eateries are nearby. We would definitely re book again and have already recommended this place to friends. ##### Melissa A.

Good time for all family and pets but disappointed with oven not working, coffee machine inoperable, one cupboard handle semi-attached and very noisy floor boards particularly in corridor leading into secondary corridor, it actually sounds like a gunshot! Made contact with management about the oven and owner did not call us until well over an hour and texts back and forth were totally unsuccessful. Owners' English was hard to follow. ##### Rosanna D.

The house easily accommodated 8 people with enough bedrooms and 2 lounge areas and great outdoor entertaining spaces. There was a fire pit area out back and good BBQ area. We were so impressed by the BBQ, we ended up buying one ourselves when we returned home. The house contained alot of toys and games for children and had many household items. It is an older house and the furniture is quite used and some coverings damaged, but functional. Location is great, close to shopping centers and very close to the Brighton Hotel and the beach. The house backs onto a park and playground area. One issue we were not happy with was cleanliness. The bathrooms, loungerooms, toilets and kitchen were clean, but the bedrooms were not with really dirty floors. In the main bedroom with the ensuite bathroom, the wardrobes were full of dust and cobwebs, the floors dirty and sadly when we were checking the drawers before leaving, found a used sanitary pad in the drawer next to the bed. Made us feel sick that we had been sleeping next to it. We did the right thing and removed it, but if we are paying $300 for cleaners, then we expect a clean house. The outside of the house could do with a good clean up, with huge spiderwebs around a lot of the windows. We feel we left the house in a significantly cleaner state than when we found it, as we vacuumed the floors and wardrobes. This definitely reflected in our rating for cleanliness. We've tried to be fair in how we scored the other questions, as overall we did have an enjoyable stay. ##### Mike S. ### 6/10 Okay #### jill b.
