Unfortunately i have to be honest in the review, and for the host, please take this as a constructive feedback as there are lots and lots of room for improvement.
We had to check in at 4.30pm which was a bit later most of our check in time, but we managed. We chose this listing as we were just staying at the apartment across the road from Nancy’s (super convenient). We paid around 50$ a night on our last property which was much better than we expected, clean private room and bathroom, all common areas (living room, kitchen, balcony) very clean and we were so welcome to use all the amenities (gym, parking, pool). All have been prepared for us upon our arrival. I dont know if you guys can find it its Ivan’s place at North Ryde! fantastic!
Coming to nancy’s was definitely a different experience, it was 70$/night stay, she asked us to pay for parking, coming into the house, i have to say it didnt smell nice. The floor was dirty, lots of stain. And our room (although was advertised just a mattress with no frame) was not as Tidy as the pictures (or most of the pictures she put up). Our host sleeps in the living room which we thought that it would be uncomfortable for us to chill in the living room.
The next morning (monday morning) we happened to realised the kitchen was very dirty, we didnt really have space to put anything in cabinet (very dirty cabinet). Microwave looked like something exploded in there and sink was dirty and stained.
Not to mention a very very dirty balcony (not sure how are we going to hang our laundry). We could not help but stay inside our room. It was a different experience for me to be honest, and i was very disappointed, and felt that it was unfair for us to how much she charged us for a night.
I work full time and moving midweek was definitely hard as i have to help my partner move aswell. Unfortunately we decided to move a couple of days later as we could not stand the condition of the place.
I hope this feedback is useful for both host and future guests to consider. Thank you
