I am surprised at all the five star reviews for this flat.
It’s not that it is horrible or anything, I just don’t think that it is as amazing and excellent as others have said. It’s just OK.
The location IS great - it is near shops, restaurants, transport and everything you could want.
Check-in is simple - just open the lockbox containing the key and you are in. Very convenient.
There are downsides though:
Both airconditioners had problems; one did not heat at all and the other was too loud to use for long. The loud one is in a window, so the window cannot be closed properly and the road noise cannot be blocked out, making the flat a bit louder and colder that you’d want.
The bed linen is a bit old and worn. The doona on the bed is lumpy and threadbare and doesn’t do much to keep you warm. On the other hand, there are extra blankets in the cupboard to use.
There is not a lot of space to put your luggage, clothes for two people, toiletries, cosmetics etc. Most of the tables, cupboards benchtops and seats are taken up by blankets, knick-knacks, candles, cleaning products etc.
I don’t want to give the impression that the flat is awful – it definitely isn’t; I want to point out both the good AND the bad.
