The apartment is a stone throw away from Scarborough Beach. Perfect location for night life, cafes and walking distance to Coles.
The check in process was easy and straightforward… considering we arrived close to midnight after a cancelled flight. The apartment was neat at first glance. One bedroom has 2 x single beds and the other a queen. The room was sufficient for our toddler. The queen bed was hard as a rock and extremely uncomfortable. Both bedrooms windows face West Coast Highway. We heard traffic all night long.
There was a highchair provided for our us, however it was broken, looked like it had never been cleaned and used 1000’s of times. There was old food on the straps with old food on the chair cover. There was even a nail file in the chair?! We ended up buying a cheap one whilst there.
I had to look down the lounge for my toddlers hair tie and once I put my hand in there I had so much regret as old food and rubbish was in there.
The booking was made for 3 guests and 1 infant however only two towels were put out. Luckily for a quick response from Celeste I was able to locate more towels for us to shower.
The bathroom sink was blocked and took forever for the water to go down. It didn’t specify on the ad, but there is no bath, shower only. The shower pressure was amazing!
There is a washer and a dryer which came in super handy with young kids.
The front door of the apartment is surrounded by glass with curtains (for privacy), if you opened the curtains, everyone that walked past can see inside the unit. We barely had the curtains open due to this.
There are 3 levels of stairs from the road up to the apartment.
I lost one of the keys to the unit and advised Celeste of this.
I ending up finding it and returning the key to the office and understood that i may have been charged for another key to be cut.
The communication with the host was quick and good, it’s a great location however we will not be staying here again due to it not suiting our family needs/requirements.
