It didn’t start well. 25 hours before check in I was contacted by the owner asking me to cancel the booking due to flooding. As this was Melbourne cup week I was concerned that it would be extremely difficult to find alternative accommodation, so I refused and contacted airb&b support. They contacted the owner and the cancellation was reversed and I proceeded with the booking. On arrival we found that the rooms were not ready, and when they were, the accommodation was found to be just okay. The maintenance of the property was clearly below standard. For example the exhaust fans in bathroom and toilet didn’t work. The washing machine and dryer didn’t work. The sink disposal unit didn’t work. A bedside lamp didn’t work. The cutlery, glassware and cookware were inadequate for five guests. There were no oven trays, one bedroom sliding door was off it’s rails, the Tv remote was faulty and no information booklet on the apartment was provided. The cost of this accommodation suggested a more well appointed and fully functional apartment - sadly this was not the case. Interestingly there was no sign of flooding or water damage in the apartment.
