"Lovely apartment in a great location."

10.0

Keys have to be collected from a nearby shop which closes around 10pm. Just something to be wary of if your plans of getting to the apartment get delayed.

"Disappointing."

5.0

Location was great. Unit was a good size. Decor attractive.

Bed was hard. We moved out a night early to find a comfortable bed.,No bath/shower soap. Bathroom tap ran constantly , needed new washer. Lounge room light flickered constantly. For a “superhost” with “strong attention to detail”, there were no welcoming small items like a couple of tea bags or a little milk , just one coffee sachet and one coffee pod .

"Wouldn’t recommend this apartment for sleep. Great for position"

1.0

The gym, pool and second floor outdoor space was beautiful. Great to have parking included Position to Botanical Gardens and the Shrine perfect

This property DOES NOT have air conditioning! It was HOT and we didn’t sleep for 2 nights - even with windows open and the weather cooling down The bed was like a slab of wood with a topper. There was no soap or body products

"Uncomfortable but good view"

5.0

It was in a good location nice view to the outside wifi worked a d jt had a washing machine anddryer

It was dirty on arrival, the bed WORST BED EVER so uncomfortable completely rocksolid. unclear instructions on how to use facilities no explanation on where to go to the pool gym or tennis court. There wasn’t any of the extras that are included in the photos and key collection isn’t ideal however it was good to see where the little shop is. The aircon needs to be upgraded as it could not cool down the apartment properly neither was the heater. If you want a good night sleep best to sleep on the lounge Will not be back Thanks

"I would highly recommend to anyone thinking of booking this place to think again and look for something else."

1.0

The location

The key collection ( at a local supermarket) 10 minutes away from the apartment is not safe for late night arrival The apartment was filthy. The windows were very dirty especially on the balcony , the balcony itself had not been cleaned in a long time The bed was as hard as the floor. The cooker hood did not work, the main gas ring did not work and the oven only worked as a grill. There was a leak on a bathroom tap. The bathroom is very tired and the bath did not empty after a shower due to the ‘hair build up’ in the plug hole. One of the many cleanliness issues around paying AUD 140 cleaning fee!There were too many personal items in the flat. The bedding was inadequate. The spare bedding was a very thin eiderdown and smelt very musty. There were clothes/ personal items in the wardrobe. The crockery was very mismatched, mostly chipped and all very old. A severe lack of communication and complete ignorance of the issues I had whilst there.

"Mostly enjoyable but a few things need to be tweeked in the apartment."

7.0

Great location, so close to transport, 3 tram spots from the city. There were lots of restaurants, coffee shops, etc nearby. The apartment was clean and tidy when I booked in, had most of the things I required. Great security in the units.

There was a bit of a drama collecting the key from a nearby IGA, the staff member had no idea what I was asking for until I showed him the email, he was unhelpful. But I did have a better interaction when the key was dropped back to the same store. I was disappointed when I went to use the shower gel provided and the container was basically empty so I had to purchase my own. Similar with the hand soap situation, no cakes of soap provided and a pump dispenser that had enough for only 2 hand washes. If I had known prior to arriving I would have brought these items with me. Also the cold water tap in the bathroom was leaking unless it was turned off so far that I had to use a towel to help me turn the tap (probably just needs the washers replacing). These may seem like minor things but when you are travelling they just cause unnecessary angst.

"Adequate, but room for improvement. The sofa was more comfortable to sleep on than the bed."

6.0

The place was clean and comfortable to hang out in the evenings.

I don't mind a firm bed, this this mattress was ROCK hard, and after the second night of an uncomfortable sleep, I opted to sleep on the sofa instead. It was also very cold, and the bedding provided was not sufficient to keep warm. The "extra blanket" in the cupboard was merely a thin decorative blanket, which did not add any extra warmth. There is a bath, which is one of the key reasons I chose this place, but there was no bath plug, which was very disappointing. A few more minor things - the bathroom tap leaks, loudly, the bathroom extractor fan doesn't work, and the wifi info in the manual is out of date - you'll have to grab these details from the tiny tiny writing on the modem.
