We loved our stay here! It was a great location in a quiet street with plenty of parking. It was a very well presented, clean and tidy home. Sarah made everything so easy. She was very responsive messages from when we booked until we checked out. Thanks Sarah for the extra special touches :)

Quiet in Kensington

Great neighbourhood, so quiet among little streets and laneways! Townhouse is good, a little tired, and some minor niggles with taps not turning off properly and with 2 toilets - but only one bathroom. Beds were comfy. Check in and out were smooth and flexible. Communication was good.
