Upon arrival at the property after the assigned check-in time the entrance to the property was locked. Attempted to contact the host directly, but unfortunately, the response was slow. Eventually, after also chatting with an Airbnb representative the host contacted me. The cleaners returned with a key to open the gate. A parking permit that is required for the neighbourhood had expired I was asked by the host to search the letterbox to find the renewal notice that was dated early November 22. I was therefore at risk of receiving parking fines. Not the best start to my stay.
The property itself is located within walking distance to transport, cafes, and the MCG/AAMI Park/Melbourne Park.
The house was spacious and clean and suited my needs for the 2-night stay.
