Can I firstly say I feel bad about leaving this review as I am aware this Host is just starting out, But unless this is said they won’t know or be able to change things.
The host was great, with every communication, it was clear and lots of information and photos. Reserved parking in underground locked car park is included which is awesome for the area.
We arrived an hr later than the notified check in time, but the keys were still not in the mailbox as arrange, as the host was running late at the post office. Once we had the key we parked our car and headed up to the room. We walked in and thought ok, small but it’s just for the night. As we started to look around we got the instinct feeling that this was actually the hosts home and he had 5 minutes before “moved out” for the night so we could stay and had visions of them sleeping in a mates lounge for the night. There were drying dishes on the sink rack, wet rubber gloves in the sink still covered in suds and the sink had not been rinsed out let alone wiped over. The cooktop that was filthy with old cooked food remnants still on it and the fridge was growing its own type of yuck. The bathroom floor was really wet from being moped but was still dirty and on the sink there was the hosts toothbrush and used razor.
The view was amazing, if you could see it through the drying washing on the airer on the verandah or through the filthy windows (granted they were dirty on the outside and I guess being on the 27th floor is not just a simple job to clean them).
The bed was so hard and also not constructed properly, slats falling out and every time you moved it squeaked and rocked back and forth. I think I would have slept better on the floor.
From memory there was no mention that the building was beside the train line, so if the windows were opened you could hear the trains.
We did not have the spare cash to go somewhere else despite every bone in our body telling us too. For the same money we could have slept in a dream bed at Rydges down the road and not felt like we had invaded someone’s personal home and bed.
Unless the host does some serious cleaning I would certainly not recommend this accommodation.
