Positives - location (heart of Sydney), close to Darling Harbour, Pitt St shopping precinct etc. Cheaper per night compared to other CBD Airbnb’s (see cons for why).
2 seperate living areas. Great for kids, or 2 families staying together.
Negatives - presentation. house is a lot more run down than photos portray in ad. Cupboards are falling apart, shower screen doesn’t close, toilet roll holder is broken etc.
Cleanliness. We spent almost 1.5hrs after check in cleaning the benches, cupboards and bathroom, which left cloths black. This is despite paying a substantial cleaning fee per stay.
Pool and gym have been closed since commencement of COVID, however, this wasn’t written in the ad. I booked SPECIFICALLY for the pool (for my kids) and the gym (for myself). We were all extremely disappointed at this.
One of the lifts was closed for 2 days. Staying on the 9th floor meant A LOT of waiting. Too many stairs for kids to walk up and down continuously.
