The checking in experience was horrible.
First, you need to give 30min window for check in. It has to be before 5-5.30pm in weekends, so you’ll have to end your day trip early.
Then, you’ll need to fork out $300 security bond, which will take up to 7 days after your check-out date to be returned to you. THIS WAS NOT ADVERTISED IN THE LISTING.
I’ve booked the property 6 days prior and told the host that I needed a carpark via Airbnb message and text message. I’ve confirmed my booking again 2 days and 1 day prior only to find that there was no car park available at check in. Granted, they were plenty of free car park around Glen Waverley Central, but they were 2P from 8am - 8pm, and since we had to arrive at 5pm for check-in, it was really stressful to have to move your car at within 2 hour and it was a struggle to find parking during peak dinner time around the area.
The apartment itself was ok. There were a few stains on the second bedroom carpet and the bathroom door on the ensuite bathroom doesn’t close. Couch has a small rip on the arm rest. I suggest taking photos of these so that you’ll get full refund of your security bond.
