We met the host and got our room key around 11pm because the host was in town when we arrived at 7pm but luckily the host managed to get someone to open door for us to enter and cook our dinner. We were told by the host to check out by 11am the next day, granted to check out late 1 hour may be because checked in late? Appreciated.
We were so excited and surprised once we entered the house, it was so nicely designed and clean. We were enjoyed cooking our dinner by using the nice kitchen, the host was so nice to allowed us to use his oil, seasoning, utensils and fridge.
Due to we were still not get used the time zone of Melbourne which is 3 hours different with our country, we have made a mistake by cooking & having our dinner during the local sleeping time (11pm-1am), we were having our conversation at low volume while other people all in their room, but we were surprised when we still get warning by the host to slow down our noise? We understood when we discovered the house is built with partition panel instead of brick wall thus the noise insulation is very bad, of course we immediately further slow down our noise (talking in whispering and walking like a cat) because we respect everyone.
On the next day, we woke up 10.20am (later than our plan). We were started packing our thing and same time also thinking whether to extend another night since the place w so nice. Then we did another mistake again UNINTENTIONALLY by washing our clothes using the washer & dryer there. Seriously we did not aware that it is prohibited as all the while the airbnb room we have stayed previously were allowed us to use the facilities. Once we got notified by the host via airbnb messenger, we immediately stopped the machine even though the clothes in wet.
Same time the owner warned us about not to check out later than 11am.
We were so nervous and rushing to pack our things and same time we keep on apologize to the host via airbnb messenger about our mistake and requested to buy some time for us to clear our thing. Unfortunately we got ignored by host on our apologies and request, the owner was only keep warning that we should not use the washer & dryer and check out on time. We were frightened by the host and only thing we could do was trying our best to leave the place as soon as we can.
We managed to tidy up the room like original condition before we pass the key to the host's wife and leave the premise around 11.20am.
We updated the host via airbnb messenger once we left the premise, but seems the host was still very angry with us and keep reproaching us that our behaviour of making noise late night was so disrespectful and using the dryer was very abusive. We were sad to receive all that messages but we knew that we have the responsibility.
Melbourne trip was our honeymon trip and we were hoping to leave a sweet memories from it. Few days after we returned to our home-country, we still could not get rid of this awful memory from our mind, thus we wrote a long apology message to the Host J.Fernando as well as a clear explanation to seek for forgiveness. Unfortunately we did not get any reply, we assumed that he is still can not forgive us.
Anyway, we are praying that both of us and him will soon get relieved from this unhappy event.
By the way, this place is really a very nice place to stay and worth the value!
Sorry for this extra long review, we just trying to get ourselves released. Thank you.
