Firstly and most importantly, you should not have to pay a deposit according to Airbnb policies - however Preron will not provide all the access information for the flat and parking if you do not even though all monies will be transferred to hi by Airbnb. I made a formal complaint to Airbnb but he may take no notice. If you do pay the deposit, be aware that I had to file a formal complaint (not via Airbnb who will not be able to help you because the payment is outside of their remit) to get my full deposit back even though there was no issue with our stay. Preron asked for my bank details - why - rather than just refunding me through said company (Pay...pal) which he suggested I use in the first place.
The flat is tired! Could have been cleaner! Maintenance needs to be done to insure the bathroom door closes properly without having to manhandle it into place. The shower screen leaks as the seal is no longer complete. We had to phone Preron to bring us sufficient mugs and glasses for 4 people and provide towels (one of which was a hand towel size - no tea towels provided). None of the other items listed were provided eg salt, pepper, wash things in the bathroom etc. No cooking utensils but there were 2 pots and a frying pan.
On the plus side, location is good for Etihad, 10 min walk to tram stop,functional.
