1 Cleaninest: The windows, slide doors to the patio and the patio itself are all quite dirty. Foliage, birds' droppings and heavy dust were found everywhere in the patio. We cannot use the patio throughout the two nights of stay here.
2 The coffee: There is a nespresso machine in the kitchen. However, I only found half bottle of instant coffee and bulk pack white sugar in the cabinet. After communicated with Michelle, she sent AUD$5 to my AIRBNB account, and said that this was the price for buying a box of coffee pod from Woolworth! My wife refused to use the bottle of sugar as we found some yellowish congregations/coarse grains over the sugar.
3 The accuracy of listing detail:
A I found a beautiful BBQ set on the photo of the patio, and also some of the guest’s comments on the BBQ – this is one of the reason I choose this apartment. The Chinese web page of the house also stated that there is a “烤肉區”(BBQ area). What I found in the patio/terrace is only a bottle of gas, Michelle told us that BBQ is not equipped in the house. I hope Michelle can update the relevant photo and information.
B The web page of the house stresses the beautiful and high-style settings of the house, with adjustives and evidence.
The web page stated “The neat kitchen is full equipped with Miele gas stovetop, toaster, microwave and coffee machine (pods included), oven, fridge, dishwasher and cooking leads to a spectacular large terrace provides delightful glimpses of the bay from the south end -- an ample space to enjoy a glass of wine in the sunset.”
I do not know whether a “Miele gas stovetop” may cook better food, but you will find a set of Bellini stovetop and oven in the kitchen.
C I used the oven 3 times for baking meals, but I cannot find aluminum foil or baking paper in the house. This is very inconvenient for us as we do not want to make the plates and bowls dirty. So that I repeatedly use the only aluminum fold baking tray until we leave.
4 Maintenance: The finishing of the house is a bit aged. We found patches of retouching on wall here and there. The ventilator of the bathroom just do not work.
5 The air-conditioner: The house equipped with an “energy-saving” central air-conditioning/heating. The instruction posted on wall said it will automatically shut down after 3 hours of operation. If you do need to restart, you should turn the outdoor unit (in the patio) on and off manually. The most annoying point is that, the instruction also told us to leave the main ventilator of the central air-condition system on. This ventilation system will automatically restart at anytime with great noise, whether day and night.
