As a home and an experience host I know how important honest reviews are for the hosts in order to grow the business and improve.
Also as a guest, reviews help us to make decisions and really trust that the place or the experience we're booking is as good as described.
I booked it really last minute and didn't have time to read reviews, I was caught by the title. My expectations based on title weren't met. My advice: lower your expectations and read reviews (most of them)

Here is my sincere review:
Pros:
Paula was a nice host, check in and check out was easy, bedroom is good size and has a balcony, shower pressure is good, location is great (heart of Queenscliff Beach) and garage is an amazing bonus in Manly.
Cons:
Bathroom is downstairs and shared (when booking bedroom upstairs, ocean views) old and a bit mould.
We couldn't use the kitchen as my husband mentioned that very first night (while I was on a meeting) he saw so many cockroaches that he felt disgusted and we ended up spending money out, even though we brought food (which is not ideal when you book an Airbnb counting on the convenience to cook)
To call something "luxury" you really need to deliver... it's not accurate. In general apartment, furniture, decoration and amenities were average. When we read "luxury" we expect amazing bed, soft bedsheets, spotless clean...
