10/10 Excellent
"overall the place is clean enough and amenities was provided except there isn't paper towel, or aluminium foiled provided for the bbq purpose. The previous people stayed wasn't rinse their dinner before loaded their dishes into the dishwasher. There were spaghetti everywhere inside the washing machine and dishes. It felt sandy on the plates if you know what I means. Therefore, we have to wash them all again before used. That was unlucky for us. Our friend's apartment upstairs was spotless. Still want to stay here again tho. The view and sounds of birds was beautiful."

"We visited in the winter; lovely cool weather. It’s obvious someone has a green thumb. I would love to the garden in full bloom. Even in winter the roses were fragrant and lovely. Stuart was a wonderful host, showing us the building, kitchen, our room with en suite. I love that shower!! Breakfast was laid out at 7 am for our leisure and even at 9 am (we had a bit of a lie in) was still warm and fresh. Centrally located for our travels, it was a wonderful stay!!"
