Awesome location, comfortable bed, GORGEOUS terrace garden area, quite spot and close to shops and parks. Friendly neighbours, highly recommended for a short stay!
Any issues Natalie was quick to rectify. However there were many issues.
My dog Batman and I stayed at Natalies place for 6 weeks while moving interstate from Melbourne to Newcastle during Melbourne's 6th Lockdown.
To me this property felt more like I was "house sitting" than paying over $550 per week for private accommodation.
Really cluttered and absolutely no storage in wardrobe or in the kitchen, bordering on what I would call hoarding but great for a short stay.
No shampoo, conditioner, clothes washing powder provided. And only enough linen and towels for 1 person. Which was fine for me but if you're a couple this wouldn't be ideal.
The building has an ant infestation, which isn't Natalie's fault but she did know about ants as there is a bit written up about it in the 'house rules' section but not in that the actual ad before you book.
I'm Australian and lived with bugs all my life but I haven't seen anything like the level of ants I lived with at this property. I spent $100 on bug sprays and natural remedies. I had them in the bed and ants in the bathtub when trying to shower and take a bath. It was very uncomfortable. When I spoke to air bnb about it they said it was my fault for booking a property with ants (as it's covered in the 'house rules' once you've booked and paid) and I didn't complain soon enough. I should have complained within 24 hours, but to be honest the situation evolved and got worse. I thought I could handle a few ants. That was until my dog Batman started getting sick from all the ant rid and bug spray I had going on to keep them at bay.
Natalie has promised she is doing something about the ants but just a heads up, it's a lot worse than the 'house rules' make out and in typical air bnb fashion they won't help you out if you get stuck unless you complain and are happy to cancel and relocate, which considering I was staying at the property during a global pandemic and Melbourne lockdown I didn't have that luxury.
Other than that my dog Batman and I felt safe and secure as we spent the majority of time in the property in a Melbourne lockdown.
Highly recommended for a short stay.
