We were so happy to arrive in Sydney but our first impression of this beautiful city was a bad one. When we entered the accomodation there was an unpleasant smell. After a couple of seconds we realised two cockroaches. That‘s not a huge issue but I wanted to have them away and moved them outside with a glass. Shortly after there were another two cockroaches. Probably they came out of the big hole at the ceiling fan. Then my girlfriend came back from the toilet and explained to me that we have to lock the bathroom. Locking the bathroom? I mean what‘s that? So we felt more and more uncomfortable and decided to look for another accomodation at 11pm. Luckily there was a very kind guy in a hotel called Challis who helped us. So we spent 5 great days in a great hotel in Potts Point. After cancelling the stay with Penny and explaining the reason we didn‘t hear one word of Penny. I‘m absolutely aware that there can be some little problems in an accomodation. But I have made the experience that there are two sorts of Airbnb hosts: The ones who realise that they are a service provider and act like that. And the ones who just want to make money. If you want to be a host act like a host. Otherwise you should let the professionals do this job. If you are not as picky as we are Penny‘s accomodation is probably a good solution. The location is great. And if you are loooking for a host who really cares about you I can recommend the Hotel Challis!
