The photos are realistic as is the location. The views of Bondi are great.
We arrived to this unit to a very strong smell of gas. We immediately reported this to Ben who didn’t seem particularly interested. We went down to the beach for a few hours hoping that the gas would disperse. On return, the smell was still strong. We investigated and thought it was coming from the immediate neighbour. Ben simply told us to call the fire brigade! We banged on the neighbour’s door but no one answered. Neighbours in the modern, opposite block heard us and, disturbingly, said that a crazy guy lived in that unit. I then heard movement in the unit so asked my husband to knock again loudly. Eventually a guy did answer. Crazy certainly sprung to mind. He had what looked like vomit down his t-shirt and swore quite aggressively at my husband. He mumbled something about ‘no gas’ and shut the door. I would certainly not recommend this listing to anybody. Ben will surely be aware that there is a mentally unstable individual next door. Or someone with a serious drug problem. Gas is also a very dangerous chemical. We were unable to stay in this property as it was not safe. We had to book a last minute hotel at 7pm which cost us considerably more money as well as to take an Uber into Darling Harbour for $50. We have asked Ben for a full refund through Airbnb on the basis that his unit was not safe. How much do you think he has offered? Nothing! Ben seems a particularly unscrupulous individual and is not someone I would recommend anyone to trust. Avoid this unit, avoid Ben... he really isn’t worth it.
