Good enough
Pros:

Nice and tidy old fashion style kiwi house. Just enough for easy stay.

Cons:

I was a bit confused because the exterior photos didn't match the actual appearance.

Clean & basic accommodation in South Dunedin ( which is NOT Dunedin)
Pros:

Very comfortable bed
Clean throughout
Adequate local services within walking distance

Cons:

Location- quite a seedy area and miles from city centre
Parking always a bit tricky
Not clear from listing that it is three separate rooms but no one resident, so you’re essentially sharing a space with utterly random strangers- as a lone female traveller I would never choose this

Felt as if I was in my own home.
Pros:

Very cozy home, all basic necessities provided.
Very warm and comfortable, bed are to die for, possibly one of the best sleeps I've ever had.
My only issue was finding a car park on the very small street but that's not the owners fault.
Very close to shops.

Cons:

Nothing needs improvement within the home.

It was alright
Pros:

There is street parking available. Relatively cheap for room with two beds. Bed itself was alright.

Cons:

Property looks old, had a musty smell when I entered. Ventilating it with an opened window helped. Other amenities in the house is not sparkling clean but usable. Can’t complain given its price. Street looks a little busy for parking. Narrow road so everyone parked only on one side. Was lucky there was an empty spot right in front of the house for my stay.

Disappointing
Pros:

The room we were in was quiet

Cons:

Nowhere on the booking site was it mentioned that this was a bedroom in a regular-sized house, with a tiny shared kitchen and bathroom. I was under the impression that it was a private room and the shared kitchen and bathroom were similar to those of campgrounds (both far from the rooms, many cubicles to choose from for the shower and toilet, and the kitchen was large and many people could use it at the same time). This was really disappointing. Also, with the instructions to enter, there was nothing about a room key being in the drawer, so we had to take all our belongings in the car when we left. That would have been even more inconvenient if we had had no car.
