++ Outstanding hospitality! Clean place, had everything you might and might not need. Host kept in touch regularly to see to that everything was fine. Washing laundry was made very easy and hassle free. Breakfast. Change bed sheets and towels and extra toilet paper, cleaning supplies etc was in the unit, so I didn't have to ask for it. Best wi-fi I've had!
-- Ants and daddy-longlegs spiders in the unit, but Parveen told me that the house will be treated against pests in December. Occasionally the pumps and ventilation system was so loud it woke up even a heavy sleeper like me. Ceiling very low.
I stayed at Parveen's place for just over a month. Check-in went very smoothly; I got clear instructions for a self-check-in over Airbnb message and when I had a problem with the lock on the gate, host was quick to answer the phone. I had a moment to settle into the unit and make sure I wasn't missing anything, before Parveen came to meet me and explained everything I needed to know about the unit.
There was everything, from the basic toilet paper and soap to body lotion and scented candles. A generous supply of groceries was provided; fruits, cereal/musli, coffee, tea, sugar, jams, nutella, hummus, juice, milk, bread, cheese, margarin, crackers, cookies, chocolate, ice cream... Extra bed sheets, towels, toilet paper, cleaning supplies were in the unit, so I didn't have to ask every time I needed anything of those. I got to wash my laundry one load a week, and this was made very easy and hassle free whenever I wanted to wash; just had to inform the host and leave the laundry on the deck.
Unit very clean! Modern bathroom, big fridge, comfortable bed, concrete floor, everything like in the pictures. Room stays cool even on hot days. The best wi-fi I've had in Oceania, never any problems! The only downside was that there are only small windows and the textured glass on the door, so not much sunlight at any time. Also the ceiling is VERY low, I didn't realize this from the pictures. I'm 158cm (5'2) and I could easily touch the ceiling and had to duck under the lower part, so I don't know how someone 180cm or over could comfortably stay there. The pumps in the bathroom and ventilation system in the room were a bit noisy and occasionally woke me up in the morning, otherwise quiet and very private space and quiet and safe neighbourhood.
A lot of ants and spiders, but I kept spraying them with bug spray, so towards the end of my stay, I could only occasionally see one here and there. And Parveen told me the house will be treated against the pests in December.
Location is a bit far from everything; ca 1½ hours by public transport from CBD (ca 9$ return with myki card, ca $50 uber off-peak), closest supermarket ca 25 min walk. But place is definitely great value for money!
Host provided outstanding hospitality, made me feel very at home and important. Checked in regularly over text message to see if there's anything I needed, appologized for any noise etc.
