Negatives:
Really not clean. On arrival there was a used towel, unflushed faeces and toilet paper in the toilet. The host was very quick to offer us another apartment or come and clean to a better standard, which we chose the latter. While this was very good of him to do, I remained disappointed and suspicious of how well the apartment is cleaned between guests. I would have provided this feedback privately, however now reading older reviews it would seem this has been an ongoing issue that hasn't been addressed. Showers, kitchen floor, outside of the fridge, pantry doors, all dirty. We ended up flipping the doona on the bed upside down, I wasn't convinced that looked particularly clean either.
The apartment is beautiful, with just some attention to the cleanliness this would be a fantastic airbnb. It was definitely saved by the location, view and overall how nice the apartment was.
