Great experience at this interesting location especially for the kids”
This facility is more like Airbnb style accommodation. Everything is self-servised. Great experience of staying at world steepest street. The house was clean and tidy with Bart and new bathroom. Only two things that might need to improve are hot water supply and bed linen/towel could use more commercial grade quality products.

Please do come again! and please don't get that you can now tell your friends and family that you have stayed on the steepest street in the world!!
Worth it!”
We got a room on the 1st floor. The room is super clean. The bathroom looks modern and hot water works great. The bed is comfy. Heater works great. The location is not far away from the town. Free parking is near the accommodation. It would have been much greater if we could have stayed on the second floor coz we love the view. The owner had sent us the detail of staying so we can be prepared. Summary: 9.5/10 (0.5 is taken coz cooking is not allowed)

Good location and good price”
This B&B located at the most steep st and lots of visitors come around but no parking space here and the photo of the room should be updated.

Don't expect breakfast”
Fantastic room and location with great view. we got free upgraded during check in, basically entitle for the entire space at ground floor which come with 2 bedroom and a living room. Clean, tidy and spacious. Only disappointment was, no breakfast provided although they stated as B&B during reservation. No kitchenette facilities, not even complimentary tea or coffee provided. There is only a kettle provided but with some filthy stain in it.

Good stay with few caveats”
Good place on a good location. It has a kitchenette not a kitchen. Utensils were stained. There was no coffee. Property manager Ash is good. So this is for Ash - please move the microwave out of the room to the kitchenette area n Stock your tea coffee supplies ;) Would gladly stay here. Overall 4/5.

Excellent”
Fantastic location, good house (glad we were on top level though). No breakfast, not even milk provided which was odd as they advertised as a Bed and Breakfast. Throughly enjoyed our stay there though.. great deck that looks over the valley with all day sun!

Lovely location”
I didn't receive my instructional email but lucky the Dreaded Lioness was there to help, she's awesome. Adequate but old and dated furnishings and no parking but short walk up hill was great. The kitchen lounge area should be expanded by removing the desk to expand it. Would stay again. Put one star for staff because I didn't receive email but otherwise all good.

Choose a backpackers instead ”
There are RULES! No cooking... even though a kitchen is advertised. No alcohol... is this a school camp? No noise after 8pm... is this a curfew? Smelly threadbare towels , no living space... even though photos indicate this. Manager doesn’t respond to emails OR phone calls. Text is his only communication medium. Better to choose a backpackers!!!!!!!!

Unique Experience”
We only received communication from the host on the afternoon we arrived and he was not there when we arrived. The toilet had not been cleaned. The sheet on the bed was ripped. The pillows smelt awful (needed dry cleaning). The kitchenette was not clean. The towels were very old and thin. Bit disappointed that we had to park the car at the bottom of the hill. Having said that, the shower was good, the bathroom was nice and the location was easy to find.

Above average”
check in is only available after 630pm (we only got the note during the check in day) The room wasn't even ready when we arrived at 645pm. Please note that there is NO PARKING AT THE PREMISE but luckily we were allowed to park in as my wife broke her back (unlucky at the same time). The room and towels smell bad and moist. Not the cleanest room but the room view was good. Not much facilities, NO WASHING MACHINE allowed to use.

Acceptable”
Confirmation of booking said 3pm We arrived to bed just been slept in, bathroom not cleaned and room totally not serviced Owner turned up at 5.40pm saying checking is not until 6pm ......I showed him email Confirmation stating 3pm Howe he would not take ownership of it blaming the booking company I find it hard to understand how this place would clean two rooms, two bathrooms and change linen, make beds of two rooms efficiently in 20 minutes . ...based on their apparent Check-in time of 6pm !! Furthermore the place is on Baldwin street, an experience I thought this may be ...until we arrived and read email stating that no way were you to park at the property and you would need to park you vehicle on the street- Baldwin street - the steepest street in the world....that is if you are lucky enough to find a park that close at least 3 houses down from the motel.....have fun walking back yp that street with your shopping or your luggage or in your heels The advertising of the property greatly misleads you to thinking you have use of tge upper level....no way that's owners residence...and the mountain views advertised- you faintly see from the bottom level where you will be staying looking through the trees and shrubs in front if the Shady deck level you will be on Had to find other accommodation immediately this night we booked as the rooms weren't ready and we needed to be at a function at 6.30 pm....so still awaiting my refund ......not my problem your Confirmation email states 3pm check in and you don't get home from work till 5.40pm to clean rooms

Amazing”
Slightly out of town. Ash our host was delightful, attentive, flexible and accommodating. A simple but clean and the bed was amazing. Special place, quirky and quaint. We are used to 5 star hotels but decided to try something different. We were certainly not disappointed.

Excelente lugar ”
Lindo, excelente relación precio calidad. Si no están muy duchos para manejar dejen el auto abajo. Esta siempre lleno de turistas en la calle. El lugar es muy bello y tranquilo, la cama muy cómoda. Si van en invierno recomiendo calefacción. Ya en verano hace mucho frio. Excelente opción! Gracias

景色絕美”
房外視野非常讚，出來就正好在Baldwin street正中間，住在知名景點內的感覺很特別。

適合喜歡Air B&B方式的旅客”
1.無法停車在門口，拎行李上下較為辛苦。 2.樓上走動的聲音會影響睡眠品質。 3.吹風機壞了無法使用。 4.只有提供洗髮精、無拖鞋

머리카락과 털이 곳곳에... 휴지통도 안비워져 있었어요!”
숙소 위치는 명소에 위치해 있었고 편의시설과 접근성은 대체로 좋았어요. 근데 이불에 머리카락 털들이 그대로 있었고, 화장실에 휴지도 없고 비치된 수건 사이에서는 머리카락 뭉치가 그대로 있었어요.... 휴지가 안보여서 변기 옆 통이 보이길래 휴지가 들어있나? 들추어 봤더니 이전 사람들이 묵을때 사용한 여성용품 탐폰이 들어있더군요.... 제대로 확인이나 청소 안하고 손님 받는건 너무나 아닌것 같네요....
