The room actually has many gaps in the walls and door so light floods into the room whenever anyone uses the bathroom/kitchen. It was very hard to sleep here as the family was very noisey in the mornings and other guest would cook and talk after midnight.
Showers were restricted to 5min, the bathroom/shower was very mouldy, and I wasn't allowed to shave in the bathroom.
The entire house is left unlocked all day, and I was lied to about having a lock on the door to protect my money/belongings.Host reply

Ada is a lovely host. She is approachable, easy to talk to, and was very helpful during our stay. This is also a great location, as it is close to the Lane Cove shops and restaurants, to bus stops, and is less than 30 minutes from the CBD via public transport. It is also a beautiful suburb with a lot of trees. There's an aquatic centre nearby for those who love to swim.

The best choice to start your journey in Australia.
Good to access shops and transfer
Very kind and helpful families members and warm greeting.September 2023
A very friendly host with lovely family. She would also listen to you and make your stay easier. The location is wonderful as the bus stop is only one to two minutes walk from the place, perfect for those who need to work in that area.

Ada was a wonderful host, she was very helpful and very nice. You could always ask her questions and she would do a lot to help you. She would offer to take you places if you liked to see more of the city. The house was very close to the bus station and shops and supermarkets. I liked my stay there :)

I was kept waiting at the door for more than 2 hours when I checked-in in the rain. Lucky my uber driver was fantastic. He waited with me.
The place was nothing like the picture. It was quite run down.
But that besides...when she finally arrived home, I was shown my room. There were no bedsheets nor blankets. I had to ask for them. I was told it was raining and they couldn't dry but was given a set anyway. It smelt dirty.
The carpets has stains & feels sticky when stepped on. So I had to keep my shoes on all the time.
On my first night, while I opened the bathroom door, a cockroach fell on me!
I booked for a week, but have discussed intentions to stay on for a month or more. But after all that I immediately look for another place to move to.Host reply
