Based on location alone, I would rate this apartment highly. It’s in a fantastic spot between central station and all the good stuff in surrey hills.
The apartment is modern but a bit odd for one person as it is skinny and long and essentially two tiny studios in one (two bathrooms two kitchens). I ended up putting my luggage on one end and living in the other. Oddly the tap water had a nasty taste to it, unlike anywhere else in Sydney that I’ve stayed. I had to buy bottles of water.
Communication was atrocious on all fronts. On checkin the apartment had not been cleaned, and it took the cleaners well after normal checkin time to come and clean. I had to extend my stay one night at the end and it took more than a day to get a response from the hosts, and I could not do it via the app because the cost was calculating wrong (that part is Airbnbs fault). And when I finally did pay, the new access card wasn’t provided until 4:30pm, after my original ones stopped working at 10am. Meaning I was locked out all day. Oh also they didn’t tell the cleaners I had extended so they came in to clean while I was sleeping the second to last day. Overall horrible management.
I’ve stayed at many different Airbnbs in Sydney and elsewhere and it was seriously the worst management ever. Location wise though, great.
