This AirBnb is probably one of the best that meets the best of all options! It is indeed a rare-find.
Cleanliness:
The condition of the apartment is fantastic! It was super clean, no issues at all. Personally, I do find it quite difficult to come across a clean AirBnb, particularly considering that hygiene is exceptionally important in current times. The surfaces and utensils were wiped clean and washed thoroughly with no trace of dust or marks anywhere. As a visitor with asthma, this was definitely helpful as I was able to enjoy my holiday with no issues. I did found that the bathroom lacked ventilation so it is ideal to leave the door and windows open before leaving the apartment for sightseeing, etc.
Location:
The location is pretty much everything with this place. It is located at the heart of the Melbourne CBD. I found myself extremely close to THE BEST bakeries in town like Bakemono, Melbourne Central, QV Mall, the State Library, and even Queen Victoria Market! I walked pretty much everywhere! It's also a great way to chance upon new and exciting places like Melbourne's Cat Cafe!
I did not experience any construction noise during my recent stay. No issues at all.
Communication with host:
Daniel was excellent to liaise with. Communication was just so easy. Daniel replies very promptly and was able to assist whenever required. I did have a slight drama with the check-in as my flight was late and had to locate a 7-11 store for the pick-up. However, this could not be reversed as flight timings are tricky.
The view:
As the apartment was on one of the top floors, I could enjoy Melbourne's city views. It was awesome just sitting at the dining area and watching the trams go by over coffee and croissants in the morning! I pretty much got a 180deg view throughout my 10 days of staying in Daniel's apartment.
Facilities:
Great facilities made available to guests. The laundry and dryer were awesome! It was just easy to be able to wash clothes and re-use them after. It was already to have the kitchen for preparing simple meals.
We were a family of 3. The sofa bed was actually quite comfortable. Daniel was very courteous and helpful in ensuring that we had extra linen and pillows.
The instructional file that was provided also gave a great step-by-step points on what we had to do when checking out, etc. They were easy steps to follow. This property was taken care of very well and has been maintained as such.
Final thoughts:
I'd be sure to check out more of Daniel's available properties on AirBnb for my future stays and you should too!
Thanks for being a great host, Daniel!
Till next time!
Kind regards,
Nora
