The location of this Airbnb is great and the neighbourhood is beautiful. The suite is only a couple minutes from Hyde Park and Paddington Station.
Unfortunately the suite it’s self was not great. The major issue was the suite was not cleaned upon arrival and there were other functional issues.
- There were dirty socks in the sofa from who ever was there previously
- There were towels in the washer and they smelt like they had been there for days.
- Baking utensils were broken
- the stove top is induction and there were no pans, only pots that were compatible. There was a bunch of different sized pots and pans available but none of the pans were compatible for the stove top. This was extremely disappointing.
- there was no hand soap in the bathroom.
- both the drain in the bathroom and the kitchen did not drain, because of this when showering you’d be standing in a inch or so of water.
- the cupboard in the kitchen for the washing machine are broken
- the blinds in the living room are broken
- there were no oven mitts so the stove and the oven were incredibly difficult to use.
- there was only one tea towel for drying dishes
- dirty jay-clothes under the kitchen sink
Obviously these things are not reflected in the photos and price and for all of these reasons I would not recommend this Airbnb. If any of these issues could have been avoided with proper direction or instructions, those instructions were not supplied to us… for instance “ensure that laundry detergent is in the proper slot” but they doesn’t tell you to which is the correct one.
