I booked this property for 4wks due to work's arrangement. As other's reviews, Erika's response regards to check in / some questions were very quick.
Pros:
-Good location
-Good interior design
Cons:
-Old building (also.. the lift in the building were wobbling)
-One block from the main road
- Cockroaches issue
I already communicated this with Air BnB and the host, however, I have also decided to share in here. For Air BnB users information.
On the first night, I spotted 2 cockroaches in the bathroom, then another 2 huge ones in the kitchen next morning. I immediately reported this to Erika. She arranged a Pest Company, (the pest company came 5days after I reported). During the waiting period, I had been spotted 2-3 every day.
After the pest, I still see cockroaches, so, in the second week of my stay requested Erika to take some action on this matter. Due to some communication error, I was unable to move out from the apt. I spotted about 25 cockroaches during the period. (I found this property is not-hygiene hence I was staying at other hotels/ friend’s house in the last two weeks.)
I've told Erika about this, however, there are two big holes in kitchen & bathroom walls. They may are coming out from there. Or the previous pest-spray was not affected.
Anyway - from now, few months are winter in Sydney so there should be no big issue. However, if someone is staying in Summer time, may face the same issue, unless the host fix the wall or other issue cause this.
FYI; The host refunded me the cleaning fee of about 125A$.
(Initially I wanted to move out from this property 2 weeks before my check out day.)
