The airbnb rooms and living area itself are exactly as advertised. It was easy to check in when we reached in the evening. Location was great as it was close to supermarkets and restaurants, and a quick easy ride to the Yarra Valley.
However, we had a few issues. We had a BBQ night for one night and the pit was really dirty when we first open the lid. We had to clean and wash the whole area before we could use the BBQ pit. We had to use the towel provided to clean and wipe the oily surfaces before used it. The items in the pit was dirty so we used an aluminum foil which we had to purchase on our own to line the whole hot plate before we BBQ-ed. We later found out that this was a BBQ liner which we were not meant to throw but was really not usable since it was dirty and oily.
The pantry provided basic salt and pepper, but the oil and sauces were expired for at least a year and not usable. Please check them before using them.
The laundry had an empty laundry soap bottle so we had to purchase our own.
Don’t rely on the owner providing these home basic necessities since it is not a “requirement”.
We had to pay an extra 20 dollars to the owner for the “bbq liner” we threw, and for the towel we had to throw since we had used it to clean the dirty bbq pit. We also made sure we cleaned the bbq pit properly after we used it, before covering it up and returning the place.
We paid for the extra money requested but this was the first time we had to cover for these small things upon check out. So be careful of the things you used in the airbnb in future.
