TL;DR Do not stay here.
I do not know how the other reviews are positive, they are either lying or are completely blind to the normal standard of airbnb stays. See my reviews of other stays, and the feedback from other hosts to fully contrast how negative my experience here was. We tried to endure it for one night, but then resolved to cancel our stay only to find every single hotel in Launceston had been booked, so instead we moved our flights and left Tasmania early. Thus bringing the total cost for this stay to 2 missed days of holiday time, and the cost of flight changes. I absolutely regret ever choosing to try and stay here.
Pros:
The location is good
Cons:
Unexpected roommates (slugs crawling in through areas where the house is decaying and furniture has been placed to try and hide how disgusting it is)
The hosts mother who appears to manage the stay prefers to knock and chat than use the messaging app to communicate
The photos show what it would look like if it were well cleaned, it was not
The photos do not show the dead bugs and other gross things in corners/underneath tables etc
The smell, which I presume is known to the host as the space was opened to allow airflow during a cold day. We did not close the window at any point during our stay due to the smell, even though it was very cold. To emphasize: very smelly!
The streets are hellish to drive and park on
