Location is not that good
If you are staying in this property, you definitely need a car. There is not any coffee shop around within a walking distance. The closest supermarket and coffee shop (bad coffee!!!) is a minimum of 800 meters away. Other than Parramatta river, there is not any other attraction around. So if you are a tourist and you do not have a car, I suggest somewhere close to train station. Ferry wharf is 1k away but it is currently under renovation. So for the time being you cannot rely on it.
Too noisy
Unit is facing Silverwater Road which is a main road ( 3 lanes both ways). You have to keep all windows shut 24/7 otherwise you go nuts and dust gets everywhere. Neighbours are quite loud and you can hear everything that happens in the entire building, due to the open courtyard in the middle of the complex all noise is amplified.
Can get very hot
We had a few hot days (around 30 degrees) during which one aircon unit was not sufficient for the whole apartment. There is just 1 aircon in the living room facing away from the bedrooms. So you need to keep the bedroom doors open. Still too stifling. There is not any mosquito net between living room and balcony. So you need to keep the door shut otherwise mosquitoes won’t let you sleep all night.
Clarify Hidden Costs in advance
Despite saying “Price shown is the total price, including additional fees and taxes” on the first page of the Air BnB search of this property, I was hit by a surprise 150$ bill for mandatory cleaning for over 2 weeks stay (btw the cleaning wasn’t worth it at all). This came as a total surprise, as apparently the owner had squeezed a short sentence in the house rules for mandatory cleaning for over 2 weeks stay. Not happy Jan, as this apartment as is was already overpriced without the hidden cost.
