Guest feedback and notices: the listing shows 94 Airbnb reviews with an average 4.9 rating across standard categories (accuracy, communication, cleanliness, location, check‑in, value). Guest comments cited excellent location, views and parking access, while some noted challenges with stairs, limited suitcase space in one bedroom and absence of a dishwasher. The host repeats an advisory that neighbouring construction may cause occasional noise or temporary access obstruction; rates have been adjusted to reflect this. Management services (Luxe Stay): the operator positions itself as a Queenstown short‑term rental manager offering marketing, revenue optimisation, multi‑channel advertising (Airbnb, Booking.com, Expedia, etc.), guest management, professional cleaning, maintenance and owner reporting via an online portal. Several setup and advertising fees are presented as waived; owners can block dates for personal use and receive monthly statements. Statistical claims on occupancy and performance appear on the site but should be interpreted cautiously.
