This place was “meh”. I would recommend it for someone I didn’t like.
The day I arrived was bin night. Got snarky messages about how I needed to put them out or risk a fine. Seems ridiculous to be responsible for bins I haven’t put anything in, but whatever.
I moved the twin beds together to make room for the portable crib and found two tablets under the bed. Probably a benign prescription from a previous guest but still annoying to have to clean up pills. Grateful to have found them before the baby or dog did.
In the kitchen there were massive cobwebs. Part of life in Australia but they’ve obviously been there a few weeks, given the price point, annoying they weren’t cleaned pre arrival.
Owners were nice about offering to have housekeeping come back to clean.
The blackout blinds in the twin bedroom are theoretically great. But… the devil is in the detail and the curtain isn’t wide enough to cover the window let alone block the light. It doesn’t do much to block out the sun.
The lounge was uncomfortable. Plastic still on the furniture legs.
Ensuite bathroom drain doesn’t work properly. Shower in that bathroom is essentially unusable without flooding. Messaged the owner. It was a known issue the plumber had been sent for previously and failed to fix.
A “starter pack” of essentials is provided. This is the only place in the world at this price point that doesn’t provide toilet paper. Adds to the overall cheap and nasty vibe of the place.
In terms of photo accuracy. I wish the photographer they used could take my headshots for Tinder. You can tell it’s the same place but oh my goodness that person knows how to work angles. Give the photographer a raise!
Location is great. The only good thing this place has going for it.
