First, I’ll say the location of this place is so fantastic that it trumps all else. The apartment is in a walkable neighborhood of good restaurants, bars and shops; it’s right on the tram and city bus lines; and it’s a 3-minute walk to Haymarket Station and about a half-mile walk to the city center.
There were, however, many small issues: The main hall light did not work; master bathroom shower door was off its runner; master shower drain was clogged to the point it nearly flooding the floor; no shampoo or shower gel in the master bath dispensers; two door jams were falling off; front master bedroom was VERY loud at night; the dishwasher was broken (I knew this from someone else’s review); and the dish soap ran out after one night. Four of us were staying seven nights.
As I said, these were small things, but all together were a hassle and disappointment given the price and no warning on Airbnb.com. To his credit, Dele responded and visited twice to fix most of the issues when he returned from a business trip.
Overall, the apartment worked well for me and my companions in many ways, but my four-star rating could have been five stars with a simple checklist or better owner/manager oversight.
