This is a wonderful spot. Five Dock Bay and the Parramatta River are arrayed before you as you sit on one of the two balconies. Access to Sydney's CBD is easy via bus, but about a 12-minute walk to the nearest regular bus stop is required. The walk is flat and is through a pleasant residential area. Shopping for basics is another 10-minute additional walk. It's all doable, but if you're lugging groceries and without a vehicle you might conclude you are in Uber range. The area is quiet, save for the boaters who speed into and out of the Bay. As a life-long boater, that is music to my ears. Regrettably, however, our stay was marred by an every-day battle with a legion of ants and a few massive cockroaches. We came very close to abandoning the property at one point, but as seniors, we were worried about where we would go and how much disruption it would cause us. So, we decided to take on the ants. The host furnished some ant bait and some spray for me to deploy and the infestation diminished somewhat with time. But the ants were there every day and required us to be super diligent in not leaving the smallest crumb on any counter and washing kitchen surfaces several times daily with a bleach solution. Rubbish was kept on a balcony and some went in the freezer to be sure we didn't leave the slightest temptation anywhere. About half-way through our stay we had no further communication with the host, so I can't be sure how seriously she felt about our ongoing pest issue. There were a few other items perhaps worth mentioning: There is no lid on the toilet, and that creates an unfortunate public toilet feel; the shower floor is extremely slippery and a danger to seniors especially. Flip flops are highly recommended. Australian wi-fi is generally lacking, and this is a DSL connection, making it even less speedy. Although I had to re-boot the system several times, it was adequate for casual web and email use. I don't like being so negative about our stay, but presumably potential guests appreciate a candid critique. This is our third time renting Airbnb-affiliated properties. Two unfortunate stays have been wrapped around one that was satisfactory. While I appreciate the rental model Airbnb provides, I'm not sure I want any longer to risk my money on properties like the one I have described, coming away disappointed and frustrated that there seems to be little I can do about it.
