I checked out early …
Whilst the unit is nicely and interestingly furnished, I don’t think this building should be hosting Airbnb. And Alex has a lot to learn about how to host and look after guests, especially in the case of an emergency.
Lucky I know how to use a toilet plunger, as the toilet hadn’t been flushed or cleaned upon arrival, and was clearly blocked. Yes, not number 1
Alex seemed unwilling and unable to find a plumber - even within hours let alone after hours, when I had to keep following up if they’ve been able to find one.
For some reason he kept saying it wasn’t blocked, not an emergency, was unexpected, and too expensive to find a plumber.
Yeh, nup, absolutely unacceptable.
Plus no toilet cleaner, or cleaning products I could readily find.
Thanks for the $100 refund Alex, but you should’ve offered a full refund if you told me that the cost of a plumber was potentially $800 - glad I could save you that expense.
I’ve also left Alex a few suggestions on how it could be improved, should he wish to have happy comfortable guests. Eg. Basic kitchen staples - tea coffee sugar salt pepper, tea towels, more than 2 water glasses, toilet cleaner, some shelves to unpack things to to name a few
If you’re wanting privacy, romance or able to just hang out comfortably during the day, this is NOT the place.
It was very very dark - tho great job on the photography guys, but 100% deceptive. At least provide decent lighting for your guests.
The walls and floors are paper thin, and can hear everything above, and assume people below can hear every footstep. Maybe a shoes off policy, and some rugs might be considerate thing for your poor neighbours - below and next door. I felt very awkward being there, for their sakes. Like I said, if I was Body Corporate, i would definitely not allow airbnb in this beautiful family with new babies oriented building.
Yep, I checked out early.
