Homewood Apartment-Self contained apartment

Di is a lovely welcoming host. Her apartment is well appointed spacious and clean. Bed is comfortable, living and kitchen areas have everything needed for a short or long stay. We were here for a tennis tournament and appreciated the apartments proximity to all services including the courts. We'll start again.

Lovely welcoming host. Great amenities. Appreciate the efforts to provide a comfortable stay.

Perfect spot for my work travel, lovely quiet location conveniently located.

This is difficult for the fact that the owner was extremely nice and accommodating. In turn, I feel very bad for what I am about to write. The good: Decent location, good parking, the accommodation was pretty much spot on when it comes to the old movie cliche: "you gets what you pays for". A decent sized bedroom, lounge/kitchenette with all of the conveniences you could hope for. The Bad: You walk through the back yard to your accom, and frankly, the untidy yard was indicative as to what we would find inside. No, the 'apartment' wasn't at all untidy, rather it was unkept and many items were dirty. So much so that prior to using any utensil, it had to be washed. Same for plates, glasses, the microwave. Indeed, everything you touched was grimy. On top of the good sized and quite functional fridge, was an array of mouse droppings and spiderwebs. The bathroom, although on first impression appeared to be ok, when you looked closer it wasn't. Look, I could go on, but let's not. I will finish by saying that as a rule, I don't bitten by bugs or the like, rashes from anything, however simply sitting on the couch (which we later topped with a blanket) resulted in a rash coming up on my arm. On waking in the morning, my right lower leg had several bite marks on it. As already stated, the basics for a great place are all there. Quite good in fact. All that needs to happen is for it to be cleaned from top to bottom, steam cleaned carpet & couch, and the list goes on.
