It seems like the place wasn’t thoroughly cleaned. The dining table was greasy. The smell of the place wasn’t pleasant. The TV didn’t work and the controller was missing a battery. There were spider webs on the windows. It was a good location and small and practical but not very pleasant experience.

I have stayed all over the world and this would have to be the most grubby place I have ever stayed. The carpet was very stained and dirty. The sofa was so filthy we had to put a sheet on it to sit on. The shower tap fell off in our hands. The shower grout was black with mould. The kitchen benches had holes chipped out of the bench tops. None of the crockery matched and was chipped. The television reception was so poor the whole screen was distorted and red! There was no fly screens on windows it was hot and couldn’t open windows due to mosquitoes. They required copies of licences for all 3 of us staying there. I have never been asked for this. Maybe ok for person booking but not all 3! Anyway we couldn’t damage this hovel anymore than it was. All correspondence from the rental company was never signed or referenced with any persons name. I have pictures and I am hoping that all our private information that we supplied has been destroyed. Even the girl who met us to hand over the keys asked to take a photo of my drivers licence! This is a terrible breach of privacy how did we know that she wasn’t going to sell it on the internet. I asked her to destroy my licence and she refused.

Property had great location being so close to a train stop but was not as clean as was expected, a little let down with comparison to the photos. Left over items from the previous guests and a sheet on each side rather than a cover for the doona were the main concerns.
