According to the listing, this property has on premise parking and wireless internet.
Since we were arriving very late (about 1 o clock in the morning), we opted for somewhere with on premise parking to ensure we didn't have to think about finding parking when we were both very tired.
I messaged the host just before we left New Zealand to find out the parking arrangements and that's when they disclosed that it was actually on road parking. We were assured there would be parking outside. As we arrived late, the road was busy, and we did find a spot, but took some time, but this was exactly what we wanted to avoid.
We were also told we would receive the password for the Wifi, but we never did. We were coming to Australia from New Zealand and so were unable to use internet on our own phones and were counting on the Wifi to contact the various groups of friends we were planning on meeting up with. Instead it made things difficult as we didn't have many peoples telephone numbers - only having facebook messenger details (ie requiring an internet connection).
I tried to message the hosts when we arrived at the airport (and found free Wifi), but there was no response, and they had said they would be uncontactable throughout the whole stay as they were at a festival.
There was no information left for us at the property. No information regarding the Wifi, or who to contact in case of query or emergency. We were also supposed to be supplied with breakfast (according to the listing), but again there was no information regarding this.
The fridge had a couple of items, including out-of-date pate and other half eaten items. There was a fresh loaf of bread, so we assumed that was what we were meant to have, but that was about it.
Whilst investigating the fridge, we were shocked to find on top of the fridge was a small container that contained marijuana.
If this wasn't enough, there were also cockroaches in the bathroom and kitchen, and there moth traps everywhere with lots of moths stuck inside.
Other things to note were the general cleanliness of the property was a bit lacking; the cooker was unclean, the bath tub was dirty, and the floors were very dusty under furniture.
Also pinned to the fridge was an eviction notice. It looks like for the reason of the owner wanting to move back in to the property, but not something that you want to see in your Airbnb. I thought there were laws against subletting? I presumed the host owned this house. It made use feel like were were there unlawfully.
Staying at this Airbnb tarred an otherwise wonderful weekend in Melbourne.
