The apartment was in a convenient location. It was spacious enough.

− Well me and my husband didn't really sleep the whole 2 nights. The mattress is an inhumane torture device from the 1700s. On the fridge it asks you not to strip the bed. We had a peak and it's one of those floral mattresses from the 90s. To make it worse there was no top sheet on the bed. You want us to sleep with the unwashed doona directly touching us? My husband found a sheet thank god and put it on the bed. My husbands towel stunk like it had not been washed and there were two coloured marks on it like it had been sprayed with frebreez or an air freshener. We ended up both using my towel. Which we only had one of for the whole two nights stay as you only get 2 towels between two guests. Absolute nightmare to get the key from a lock box another suburb away. God help you if you don't have a car. You only get one key, checking in and out or going anywhere is even harder. They want you to pay extra for an additional key. That's a joke in itself. This place is a cash grab not about providing a nice place to stay. If you do decide to stay, BYO, linen, towels, mattress and grappling hook so if you are both out and the other has the key you can scale the 10 stories to your room. Also you need a second person to check out if you want to get your car out 😂

Really is light and very lovely!!

Collecting the keys at a location 1.7 km from the apartment was a nuisance, there was no parking and the key location was very difficult to find. I will say the hosts were very very lovely and stayed on the phone as they tried to assist me find the location.

− Lovely, spacious, clean apartment. Kitchen well stocked with utensils etc. Excellent location for access to everything particularly restaurants, cafes and shops.

I really liked this property and location! Huge compliments!

Property was all around great!

− The key pick up being about 1km was a bit annoying.

The location

− The bed is very uncomfortable and the pillows are very poor quality for the price you pay. They should really invest in decent pillows because it seriously affects your rest. We stayed 5 nights and they only provided 3 small garbage bags, which is completely insufficient for that length of stay. Also, having to pick up the key from a location that is 15 minutes away by car without being informed before booking is unacceptable. That information should be clearly stated from the beginning. The cleaning was not good. The bed was not properly made and there wasn’t even a top sheet to cover yourself. The internet is very poor and the TV had almost no brightness, so watching it at night strains your eyes. For the price paid, the overall experience was very disappointing.

The rooms were spacious and really liked the hanging space off the bedroom. The apartment was ideally situated, right in the middle of town. The kitchen was excellent.

− We would have liked a table. There were no instructions for the microwave.
