The good stuff first -
Excellent location
The bad stuff (Thats about it)
If you are alone, need a pod for a night, drunk / cant see well or dont care about the cleanliness and only location matters to you, then go for it - else stay away!
I booked based on ratings on the Airbnb from Adelaide and I booked long stay with family and suffered.
I was caught in the lockdown and had to suck up as I was a new migrant and there was no rental inspections or rentals going on
The whole apartment is operated from some agency with Chinese staff who cant speak a word of English
They give the key in a tearing hurry and leave immediately
The bad review is on account of 3 things -
1. They didnt adhere to the Airbnb cleaning progress - The water heater was burnt from some other guest, the IKEA blankets were all soiled , the back of the TV and the under the sofa has not been cleaned for ages
2. The washing machine has so much lint - it killed all my clothes and I had to go Laundry Mat 4 times and during the whole of my stay to wash off the linen and weekly clothes
3. the cloth dryer in the apartment is of rubbish quality
4. My wife and me cleaned the home so many times to make it live-able with brooms sometimes as the vaccum cleaner didnt work
5. Even the replacement vaccum cleaner which was sent had so much of dirt and dust from some other house/property - even that was not removed when it was given to me
6. Host never called as to I am comfortable - used to buzz me for money when the expiry date approached.
7. Completely operated from remote staff who dont care / cant even speak a word in English (you are lucky if you know Chinese maybe)
and yes, one of the bathroom locks was not working, so had to keep your leg to block it from sliding when you poop!
8. No change in linen till i insisted. when i got it - it was also dirty and stained!
In a nutshell. no QA at all - just want to make money
The usual refrain - "Lockdown, I cant send anyone" then you insist and you get more dirty stuff in!
A bad experience
I need to get maybe 1000 $ from the host to show how to keep a clean home
we got it dirty - we left it pristine and clean!
