Swan River Applecross Heathcote Park 1BR Villa

Location was very good for where we needed it to be. We liked the river frontage within easy walk. Size of kitchen, lounge and bedroom were spacious and good sized courtyard. Masses of cupboard space was very handy. It was private and quiet with no external noise except overhead aircraft.

Some fixtures and fittings were very dated. Bathroom needed an upgrade. There was minimal shelving in the bathroom for personal toiletries, etc. Kitchen stove and oven also needed modernising. Air con, while efficient, really only serviced a central area and fans were essential for the bedroom and lounge. Closing bathroom and lounge doors to better channel aircon flow had problems because of faulty door catches. .

We were upgraded to a fabulous one-bedroom apartment at Manna Living. It was new, spotless, comfortable and perfect for our 1 week stay. We appreciated the full kitchen, coffee pod machine, morning sun on the balcony, clothes washer/dryer, detergent etc. The communication was good.

The management company move us with only a few days notice from the place we booked to a apartment block we didn't want (although the apartment was nice, with a restricted view). We booked and wanted a ground floor place, so it spoilt our stay.

Restricted view. The technology to gain access, the strict check in/out. Did not like the whole experiance of dealing with the management company.

Where it is located

The whole apartment is shabby. Lack of basics, crockery cutlery etc The outside terrace had not been cleaned, I would suggest ever. Cracked switch on the wall in the bathroom is dangerous. Waste bin in the bathroom has been battered. I am a long term user of Booking. Com, you need to check the description shown on your website it is totally misleading

Excellent location, close to everything we needed. The unit was very clean and tidy and instructions on how to get the key were very clear.

Location. Room to park car. Quiet.

Bedroom had no windows. The rooms were stuffy and had a stale smell. There was no security door to allow air flow. Cleanliness was average eg in the shower. The linen didn’t feel crispy clean for the price paid.
