This apartment has so much potential for a lovely stay but I currently would not recommend it to others.
On arrival in the department instead of being drawn to the great view, we were met by a strong odour leaving us to go straight to the laundry to find it full of painting equipment and ladders. In the laundry sink painting trays and brushes were sitting in stagnating water/(or turpentine). The apartment was in the process of being painted with pictures from the walls found in the back of cupboards. We wondered if we were in the right apartment. The host was not aware of this and did arrange for the contents of the sink to be removed but left the remainder of the painting equipment. The apartment is tired with old furnishings and poor quality bed linen, towels and mattresses. Only one of the bathrooms had soap (1cm in the bottom of the bottle) in it. There is an iron but no ironing board (as it was stolen in the last few months along with the dust pan and brush). The washing machine is broken but the house rules say you can wash in the laundry sink. For $510 a night we expected these basic things to be covered.
The apartment is in a great location overlooking the harbour and across the road from cafes and bars. The balcony provides the perfect spot to appreciate these views. There is large TV with Netflix and the air-conditioning works well. If the above issues are addressed this would be a fantastic apartment.
