Considering the price point, I shouldn’t have encountered any cleanliness issues. However, I found what looked like a fake fingernail on the floor of the wardrobe. It put me off so much I could not use that side of the closet.
Also, it was unfortunate that I happened to book this place during the AFL final weekend (which I learnt the hard way). From afternoon to late at night and past midnight, I experienced on and off noise and disruption of people on my floor as well as perhaps the floor above. This disturbed my sleep and stay in general. In the middle of my stay the fire alarm was set off forcing me to walk down 26 flights of stairs to go outside the building at nearly 11pm. No information was given as to why the alarm was set off, and the mass of people needing to go back into the building caused me to have to kill time for at least another 30min or so that the lifts would be more freed up.
Though the unit itself was more or less as pictured, it also feels as though things needing fixing have been neglected. The bathroom sink wasn’t draining as the stopper seemed stuck, this should have been fixed prior to my stay. The door to the apt unit itself is extremely slow to close. I wonder if the hing was need to be replaced. Also towards the end of my stay the elevator nearly got stuck. As I went up, the numbers on the screen started going crazy and when it reached about the 19/F the lift jumped (like the elevator had a hiccup) and then continued to go up. I was so startled afraid it was going to get stuck.
Ultimately, I was quite disappointed with my stay here. It was one of the most unpleasant stays I’ve had for Airbnbs.
Two positives are that the location is very convenient (trains, trams, supermarket minutes away), and Bill is fairly good with responding via the app. The contact number given is apparently left in the office from 7pm so if you experience an issue after that, good luck.
