After reading some positive comments, it was a bit of a let down staying in this unit, which requires some work on cleanliness and maintenance. Cockroaches(more than 15 seen and killed during our stay) and ants were present (even on beds) despite daily spraying of pesticide. Though host offered to come over to mitigate, pest control should be done prior to guests moving in and not while they were staying. Partition door between
bathroom and sink was dismantled, limiting the use of either to only one person, a big inconvenience with a big family. Multiple lamps/bulbs were not working, as was the aircond. remote (metal strip contacts missing in the battery compartment !) All these should have easily been checked and rectified by owner before guest check in !! Further, our 3-year old's foot was hurt because of sharp wooden splinter on the floor. Having said the above, we do appreciate the host's willingness to communicate about these issues. This is an excellent location and friendly suburb in Sydney and can be a wonderful airbnb if the problems mentioned about are fixed.
