While the location of the Rose street loft was ideal, there were a fair few things about the stay that would make me hesitant to recommend it.
When I first arrived, I followed the fairly complex instructions to get the key out of the lock box. The code did not work and so I called the number provided, reaching a woman who got me another code which opened the box - to reveal no key inside. My brother and I were both exhausted and frustrated and I felt that the woman I was speaking to on the phone was very short with me (at one stage saying “You can stay somewhere else if you want”). We eventually got the key delivered and got inside. From there, some more issues came up.
There were problems with the shower where water leaked everywhere and we had to wrap towels to try to stop the flood whenever we used it. And I was unable to lock the door when I left, I think the keypad was broken.
I use Air BNB a lot and I am not someone who goes looking for things to complain about. I want the experience to be of a high quality. I found that these issues detracted from my stay in Melbourne.
