Overall we were disappointed with this stay, especially for the price we paid.
The photos are accurate in terms of the physical space, but are actually extremely inaccurate and deceiving regarding the cleanliness. The photos make the space look more updated than it actually is. Unfortunately it was a brand new listing and so there weren’t any reviews to go off of, except for the hosts reviews for other properties, which were generally positive.
The ground floor smelled musty/moldy, with visible mold/mildew in the bathroom. Drain flies were extensive. There were a couple of cockroaches found in the kitchen during our stay (although apparently these can be common in Sydney), as well as TONS of regular flies. We had to get bug spray to kill the amount of flies on our last day.
The location itself shares an alleyway with a grocer and so it does smell when accessing the unit.
The bedrooms on the upper floor we were actually quite pleased with, however the window framing in the bedrooms as well as around the main door have gaps that allow flies and other critters inside.
If you need this place for solely a place to sleep, it is totally fine (just overpriced). However if you want to also be able to relax in the space, or have mobility issues, I wouldn’t recommend this stay (the stairs are shallow and steep to get upstairs).
