Although I’m very seasoned business and leisure traveler this place was my very first stay in Australia. Because of my experience and “advices” from the host, I wanted to visit other places in Australia before writing my review. So after staying in another three places ( small B&B, holiday apartment and touristic hotel) I’m writing below with full confidence, Australia is not different from many other countries I visited.
The place is not well maintained, cleaning is rather “low touch” - bathroom and kitchen were dirty, sticky dirty. If you expect to get what you see on pictures and can read in the listing be prepared to get these kind of messages from the host : (exact wording) -“You clearly expected a 5 star hotel. But you didn’t pay for a hotel. Or close to hotel prices. I have been on Airbnb for many years and you have been the worst guest I have had for many years”. I wonder why I was so bad, I asked for reason of naming me “the worst”, no repose.
And few more “ You clearly don’t understand labour cost in Australia. I strongly suggest the park Hyatt will be a much better choice for your stay”. (Exact wording).
Conclusion. For me it’s clear that this host does not make proper supervision of maintenance of his multiple apartments. Cleaning must be redone what makes him “a bit nervous”. So, if you think that cheap sparkling wine can make you equally happy as “sparkling clean” apartment, go for it, but be prepared for what I wrote.
