Peter was responsive and friendly. He graciously accommodated for a later check out when our flight home was delayed.
Points to note:
1. The location is fantastic and if you are only going to be in Sydney for a very short period, the property puts a roof over your head. Delicious French pastries just down the road. Probably not best for longer nights as the walls are paper thin (you can hear everything going on on the floor), the pillows aren’t great and there are no fly screens on the windows for the warmer nights. We found cockroaches in the bathroom and the spray was empty. There were small bugs roaming around on the carpet and the rug is dirty.
2. Yes it’s cheap and the location is great but I don’t necessarily think that is a reason for the cleanliness to be subpar and for guests to wait at the property to be cleaned at the time of check in. We arrived at 11:30am for check in as directed (noting we had requested a check in at 9-9:30am when asked, as we arrived in Sydney at 7:30am - but this could not be achieved as we were advised the property needed to be cleaned prior to us checking in) but the property had not been cleaned and had to wait an additional 20-30 minutes whilst the host cleaned the property. We were only advised at check in that the cleaner was sick and could not attend the property to clean, which we completely understand, but this would’ve been known in advance and the cleaning should’ve been done prior to the check in time which I think is standard practice - that you check in at the check in time, and not wait at the check in time for the property to be cleaned. If you decide to stay here, I suggest you grab a coffee and wait as previous reviews also indicate that the property is only cleaned at the check in time.
