I stayed in this home for almost a month.
Pros: 1) convenient 5 minutes from Erskineville and train station; 2) kitchen and bathroom are updated; 3) photos on site are accurate; 4) check-in was easy with lockbox
Suggestions/observations for improvement: 1) home is rented through an agency/property management and not an individual; there is no one local to speak with and I communicated with too many people and had to repeat myself too many times (see #6 below); 2) wifi was spotty, especially in the lounge where the main TV was located; connection is with your laptop only, so no live TV in the lounge either 3) the home requires a deep clean; 4) update the house manual to de-emphasize partying and consequences and provide useful information, e.g., location of rubbish bins, how to work the TV, etc.; 5) per the website and a review from 2020, the oven does not work; would suggest fixing this, especially for long-stay guests; 6) customer service: I had a disappointing experience around the broken heating/AC unit in the lounge; I raised this over email (Sydney is cold in winter!), but agency employees did not read the entire thread and I was corresponding with 5 different people trying to get the problem solved. I eventually asked them to deliver/install the heater after I left as I no longer wanted to deal with multiple emails, as well as several requests for my personal phone number so that I could oversee delivery/installation schedules. Worst of all, I was told three times that someone had dropped off the heating unit, that I spoke to that person and accepted delivery of the unit. I did none of these things and this was very unpleasant. I have requested a 10% refund from the company, but have heard nothing as of yet. Hopefully they will respond soon.
