The apartment was rented out in a very dirty state. In a brief conversation with the host when I checked into the apartment, he pointed out where the rubbish bins were and mentioned that shoes are to be taken off in this home. Had the place been clean it would have been a justified request. I also found it uncomfortable that the host handed over the keys in person in the apartment. A single female does not want to be alone with an unknown male in an apartment. A key box would be much more appropriate.
The shower had a lot of mould, the basin and mirror had not been cleaned and the toilet seat had pubic hairs. In the kitchen there was also mould around the kitchen sink and the sink had food scraps. The kitchen bench was covers in crumbs.
I spent 30-40 minutes cleaning the place, disinfecting and wiping all surfaces in the kitchen, dining/lounge, bathroom and bedroom. The bed had no sheets, would of been nice to know before we packed our bags from interstate. It was not a pleasant stay due to the uncleanliness and the odour of the apartment. I would not recommend it.
