Difficult to provide a wholesome review, as we arrived after hours and left first thing in the morning.
Host was very accommodating with late check-in, hassle free thru lock box.
Host happened to be still up and welcomed us with Wifi password :)
Room was nice, spacious and very clean.
All up, definitely accommodation I can recommend.
Thanks

Was surprised when a neighbouring guest unlocked our room at midnight with his key. He’d picked the wrong room. No harm done but hadn’t realised this could be a possibility.
Otherwise we had a comfortable stay and found the facilities very clean and well serviced. The owner was friendly and helpful, allowing us to charge our EV

I stayed for 5 nights. Slept super well as despite being by a main road, the windows kept most of the noise out. Staff were super helpful and away from the main road, leafy suburbia in Spring was a beautiful walk.

We spent 4 nights in a 1-bedroom unit which was comfortable enough for our needs. Everything is a bit dated but functional., & we were able to heat meals, do laundry & sleep well. Access to & from everywhere we wanted to go was easy, especially once we worked outa "back route" to Mcfaddens Street!

Last-minute booking via Expedia, but possibly one of the fastest-ever check-in. Second-floor room, one back from a busy road – remarkably quiet. The room and bathroom condition.1st room on my trip with UTH milk potals (remember to buy milk before arrival)

Overall, very clean and comfortable. It could even be better if the room was not smelling of cigarette smoking. I will be happy to stay there and recommend it highly.
