Hard to beat
Will be hard to beat in any future travels. Great size, facilities, and open house cleanliness. The beds were so comfortable and it was so quiet. It was easy to contact the hosts which gave us peace of mind. Oh, the eggs they left in the fridge for us were delicious. Very highly recommended.

poor booking arrangement
the property was excellent and we enjoyed our stay the process of renting the property was the disappointment. we could not get in contact with the host the 6 digit numbers we kept getting didnt work came up as invalid all the time, about 7 of them. No other way of contacting stayz host was trying to communicate with us and we could not reply. until the host emailed us the night before we were not sure if we were excepted and had accommodation.for the next day or not.Very frustrating experience for old age pensioners who are not always tech savvy. when you make a booking there should at least be a phone number if you are having trouble. will never use stayz again.
