I don't even know where to begin, this was by far the worst Airbnb I have ever stayed at. First off, the check in process is so inconvenient. You have to go to a small corner store to pick up the key before you arrive and the store is about a 10 mins drive from the apartment. I had two suitcases with me so this was really inconvenient when I had already travelled for so long to get there. Then when I arrived I discovered that there were 4 flights of stairs I had to carry my suitcases up because there was no lift. This is not made clear on the listing page and was a struggle, particularly in the heat.
Once I arrived in the apartment I was extremely disappointed at how unclean it was and underwhelming compared with the photos. For starters, the kitchen had not been cleaned properly, the cutlery, crockery and glasses were all dirty and had food still on them and finger marks. The Nutri Bullet was also dirty and looked like it hadn't been cleaned in ages. The worst was that the kettle was so old and had calcification all over the spout so I couldn't even make a cup of tea.
When I went to the bathroom I discovered I had only been left the end of a toilet roll so I had to go out and buy more myself as there was none left anywhere else in the apartment. The bathroom had no fan or windows which meant there was really poor ventilation when I showered.
In the bedroom there was a globe missing in the light, the doona didn't fit properly and was all lumpy and one of the blinds didn't work. There were two fans left in the cupboard to use, however one of them was broken and the cover of the fan fell off every time I turned it on.
The worst part of the bedroom was that there were bed bugs in the sheets so I woke up with little bites all over my ankles and feet. Absolutely disgusting!
For how much James charges to stay at this place, the experience was absolutely terrible. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone and despite the location being good, I would never want to stay there again. Definitely reconsider staying here if you are looking in this area.
