I am very disappointed with Maggie and Gino's apartment, it certainly was not up to the standard I have come to expect from Airbnb.
First the good things: great location and comfortable beds. The bad: the sheets on the beds had not been changed since the previous guests and had hairs and stains on them. The apartment smelt really stale and the windows in the bedroom could not be opened to let in fresh air to remedy this. The air conditioning also did not work until the owners advised it had been turned off at the electrical box (at the end of our stay). The bathrooms, whilst a good size were not very clean and had lots of heavy black mould and build up. The washing up sponges provided were fitly and unusable, no decent garbage bin or liners was provided and there was a beer bottle of cigarette butts left on the verandah (which was also very dirty). To top it off, the fact that the dishwasher was full of other people's dirty dishes did not leave us with a good impression of this place. Overall, it felt neglected and unloved. In fairness to the owners I think they need new, reliable cleaners as the apartment has the bones for a good place to stay in the heart of Sydney.
