Shane has a lovely place. It is close to the city and restaurants and across from Hyde Park which we loved, having a toddler. The bed is comfortable and the place was clean. The private garage was convenient. A cot and high chair were provided for us which was great as we didn't have to rush off to buy these things when we arrived.
The main bedroom doesn't have airconditioning and the room temperature was between 27-30 degrees each night (we brought our own thermometer to check because we have a toddler). There was a noisy fan provided but it wasn't very effective. (We understand from reading other reviews that the second bedroom has airconditioning.)
The one thing we really did not appreciate was the communication around the cost of opening the second bedroom. Our baby wasn't sleeping well and we asked Shane to confirm the cost of opening the second room as we wanted to put our cot in there (it is written it would cost a one off cleaning fee on his listing). He kept on asking us to go through airbnb so we did and the airbnb customer service were very kind and said they wanted to check so that we wouldn't have any bad surprises. Airbnb confirmed a one off $20 cleaning fee off his listing which we agreed to. I told Shane we were happy to pay the $20 to which Shane responded that he didn't understand why we didn't open the room earlier. We were stunned when we received a request from Shane for $20 for each night that remained for our stay and airbnb confirmed that the request had come from the owner. We didn't appreciate the disingenuity around the conversation and wish he had been straightforward about the issue which tarnished an otherwise nice stay.
