We'd appreciate hearing from anyone who has used this service as we've heard a couple of reports that the accommodation is grotty. Anyone know otherwise?

Hi Guys,
We used the meet and greet/accomadation on arrival service, you are met at the airport and taken to the accomodation. The guy that met us was brilliant, very helpful. He took us to the property in Port Adelaide a 2 bedroom furnished house,close to all ameineties.
However the property was dirty, and smelt of cigarette smoke, the toilet/bathroom needed a good scrub, the cutlery and appliances were also in the same condition, unusable as far as we felt.
John the M&G guy could see how upset we was and offered to help us find alternative accomadation, he then drove us all over Adelaide, unfortunatley we was unable to find anything.::
We returned to Port Adelaide, went shopping for cleaning materials and cleaned the place ourselves (still not happy).
That first evening we went for some grub and returned to find Mr Cockroach sitting in the living room :scared:
You can stay for 3 months only then your on your own, we lasted 4 weeks. They let you know were you will be going 7-10 days before you leave England.
In the end the property was adequate for the amount of time we spent their ( If it had been clean).
Maybe you should look into short term holiday lets.
Hopefully this is of some help, we may of been unlucky.
