Looking at the pictures, I did expect something a little tired and run down. But what I didn't expect or will accept is the state of cleanliness, or lack thereof.
First night, I had to go to a local Kmart and buy new sheets, pillows and duvets. The ones that were supplied were stained and not rather hygienic. In fact, most of the fabric furniture was stained. Even the tablecloth laid out had stains all over it.
For a non-smoking place, there were at least 50 smoke butts in a pile out the back door.
Also found chewing gum on the floor behind the bin in the ensuite, as well as pens and socks under tv unit in lounge room.
We asked for the cleaning fee of $250 to be waived as it wasn't cleaned when we arrived and probably left the place in a better condition as well. That request was denied as I apparently left it too long to mention to him.
As a first time Air BnB user, I don't think I'll be rushing back to use this service.
