Solomon Street Cottage

Nice home with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Clean, nicely furnished, well-stocked.

Location. Nice big living room.

It needs an upgrade. Outside was very tired. No heating in one of the bedrooms. The single bed was uncomfortable because of the springs sticking up. The house was quite dusty too.

We had no internet connection when we arrived, so it was a bit of a trial trying to find somewhere we could connect to the internet to log on to booking.com to get door code.

Perhaps an information folder, providing information where nearest hospital is, what to do in an emergency i.e fire etc, instructions on how to use oven etc

Easy front door code access. Master bedroom had an ensuite, shower water pressure and temperature was good. Beds in bedrooms 1 and 2, although firm, were comfortable with clean linen, clean towels, Bedroom 2 was a lovely room with a fireplace and air conditioning. The bathrooms were clean with shampoo, conditioner, body wash and hand soap were supplied. Spacious open plan kitchen, dining and living area at rear of house with air conditioning. Kitchen had large cooker and everything required with the exception of a coffee machine, only a plunger. Off street parking for 1 car.

The booking is managed by a WA booking company, they charge immediately and separately, not through booking.com (confusing) and also hold a deposit. The company is not easy to talk to via the phone but do respond to email. Front door patio and doormat were not clean, lots of dirt and cobs webs, needs new front door mat. Front courtyard outdoor table and chairs covered with cobwebs. The house had a slight odor on entering, maybe the last booking had a dog. Appears to have only had a quick "refresh clean" in-between bookings, as there was thick dust under the beds, cobwebs in corners and around window interiors, dust on bedside lamps. Felt not clean. Every wall was scratched or marked as was most of the furniture and benchtops are stained and scratched. The curtains in the living room were cheap and flimsy. The dining chairs were not clean. Lounge room lamp was crooked. The furniture was tired and/or cheap and flimsy. The third bedroom's single bed was old and bouncy and there was a chunky dusty desk and office chair taking up alot of space unnecessarily. The kitchen and bathroom tap water is not drinkable, not clear and tastes odd. The back courtyard outdoor table and chairs were covered in cobwebs and the courtyard garden is overdue for a weed and tidy. Overall, 114 Solomon Street cottage was tired, dusty, underwhelming and disappointing. There are not any special features to note. The property does not look like and photos on booking.com.
