Axel wasn't around so his friend showed us around the house. His friend was pretty friendly.
My first visit to Sydney was sullened by this "accommodation". At a price of $136 per night, my friends and I were appalled by the state of the "house" when we checked in. The front door wasn't locked so we walked right in. We could have easily walked in through the backyard since 80% of the doors can't be locked in this house. The remaining 20% were broken. Cobwebs and broken glass were common throughout the house, oh yeah, not forgetting the ocasional dirty underwear and fall-inducing skateboard hazard.
Axel's room was incredibly dusty, had a staled smell and to be honest, we considered sleeping out in our car. The door knobs were broken and the only standing fan was a light breeze at best.
The bed was infested with bedbugs (tested and proven by 3 nights on it), the beanbag had stains (I shudder to think what had caused it) and the last mattress looked like it had more dust than fluff.
The swimming pool filled with slime on the inner walls, and there are dead leaves floating around. If you fancy a swim in a swamp, there you go.
The "entertainment" room was barely more than a table with a ping pong net laid across it. We had a few goes on it, well, at least the ball sort of bounce so I guess it sort of works.
The kitchen sink was filled with dirty dishes from the previous decade from the looks of it. I didn't even bother to look in the washing machine and dryer.
The toilet looked like the scene from "The Shining", so movie enthusiasts will probably enjoy walking down the corridor in the night. The bathroom was gloomy and dark, a buddy system was used during our stay as we would rather not find out what caused the stain in the bathtub.
All in all, we were rather glad to get out of that hellhole after 3 nights.
To future travellers, there are better places anywhere else in Sydney. Seriously.
