I will write a detailed review of this accomodation so that others are also aware before booking! Please read this with the understanding that I am extensive Airbnb traveler and a Super host!
First of all the location is great! It's in Fremantle near the High Street which makes it an attractive location. It's also a walkable distance to the train station.
Second, the communication from the host who is actually an Agent is prompt although not entirely honest at all times!
Now the apartment is a smallish apartment that has a common kitchen and living/dining area. That's a problem because the exhaust in the kitchen is not great and then the entire apartment fills with the smell of food! You can choose to open the balcony door which is simply not possible in the cold wintery conditions!
The kitchen has a gas stove but no oven making it somewhat challenging! Plus there was no kitchen paper towel or even a tissue box provided which is a standard nowadays. We had to buy our own supply!
The bedroom is large but always remains cold as there is only one Aircon in the living room. And no, it does not heat up the bedroom despite being assured by the host that it would !! We actually shivered through our entire stay for 2 weeks!
The bathroom is small and somewhat functional! We struggled with the spray of the shower going out of the bath despite our best intentions of limiting it!! The biggest problem is that the host supplied us only 2 rolls of toilet paper for 2 weeks of stay!! When we asked for a refill, she advised we would have to buy them. This was the most ludicrous thing I had ever heard since toilet rolls are rarely available in small quantities and being tourists we would not be carrying any!
The laundry is good and has both a washer and dryer!
The living room had a small 32 inch TV which you cannot cast to. To the benefit of the host, she provided me with a Chromecast which unfortunately did not work at all! The living room carpet also needs to be looked as it's quite dirty!
Our stay was beset with other problems! The power went off twice which is unheard of in this country ! The biggest problem was that the garage door could not be opened and my car was stuck inside making it impossible for me to leave for an important meeting that was scheduled for the morning! The host was unable to get it opened and then agreed to cover my Uber costs to attend the meeting only to backtrack later!
The lift then stopped working and no one in the building was bothered to have it rectified!
Now some general points. The ad is misleading as the balcony shown in the ad is not what's in the room. It opens up to actually nowhere and is simply not useful! Also there are some disturbances from the crowd downstairs as there are a few pubs/ bars around!
