Shortly before my stay I was contacted by the host saying he had received a better offer and wanted me to find other accommodation or stay at another place in Hoppers Crossing. Location was essential as I was working in Bacchus Marsh for the weekend. After some negotiation, I was allowed to keep my booking. This added extra stress to my experience and the host doesn't seem to think this is unprofessional in any way and he claims was considerate by trying to negotiate instead of just cancelling on me.
There are rules around no alcohol but top shelf of the fridge was full of beer, the rule didn't bother me because I don't drink but thought it was a strange inconsistency. Upon arrival there were cleaning products and a dirty cloth on the kitchen bench and the dining tables was dirty. Our towels were on a clothing rack outside and the WiFi doesn't work in all parts of the house.
This is definitely not setup with the person staying in mind to have a relaxing comfortable stay. It was as though someone lives there and just moves out for the night when people are staying. This isn't somewhere I would recommend for a relaxing home away from home and the worst experience I have ever had on Airbnb.
That said, the water pressure is fabulous and the beds are comfortable and it was a quiet area at least.
