Great location right opposite Latimer Square, so an easy walk to the CBD and some attractions.
Unfortunately though for the rest, I’ll be leaving my first ever negative Airbnb review.
We found the place to be generally unclean and quite dusty. It’s as if it had only ever had surface spot cleans.
The unit also lacked typical and somewhat essential items included in a 2 bedroom / 4 person Airbnb/short term accomodation. Things like more than 1 bin liner, facewashers, extra pillows, towels, clean dish cloths, etc. The dishwasher was also broken at the time of staying, and clearly was for the previous guests also, which surprised me that the cleaners/managers didn’t know prior to our arrival, ie, the dishwasher was full of dirty dishes when we arrived. There were also used wet towels stuffed in to cupboards in the bathroom and kitchen from previous guests, also missed by the cleaners/manager.
I’m aware that this is a new property to Airbnb but I find it hard to excuse this stuff when the host is an experienced Airbnb property manager. I’ve gone in to these issues and more with the manager so hopefully these are all resolved prior to the next guests stays.
PS. Important note - the advert says “lift access”. This is true for pedestrian access at ground level but not from the basement which is a different driveway on a side street, so be aware you will have to take your suitcases or prams up a set of fire escape stairs to access the lift if parking in the basement.
