We checked out of this accommodation early due to dirty bedsheets and cockroaches. We found the cockroaches in and around our stuff every night and didn’t feel we could stay another night.
This location is also pretty far from the places we needed to be. The Westfield centre which is where the train station is was a 25 min walk and the walk to Bondi Beach was 20 mins. The property is also located on a very steep hill.
The balcony and lounge area are nice, however the balcony area could do with a bit of a clean. The host also let us check in early, although it would have been useful if instructions for the check in process had been sent before we arrived.
We got in touch with Airbnb about the issues with the flat as it was Christmas Day when we left and we didn’t want to disturb the host. Airbnb told us we did not need to contact the host and could request a refund for the final night through them. It now turns out that this is not the case and we should have contacted the host, despite contacting Airbnb to ask specially about this.
