Where to start…everything was fantastic! The apartment is absolutely gorgeous and very spacious in person. It has been finished and decorated beautifully and has all the amenities you could hope for - the kitchen has all your cooking needs covered (the yummy ground coffee for the coffee machine was a highlight but so was having a full set of crockery and glasses, and things like a litre of milk, gladwrap, paper towel etc) and the laundry is fully stocked (detergent, pegs, drying rack etc). All the little practical things you could need for your stay have been thought of by Karen. The couches and master bed are super comfy (nice touch to have TVs with Stan and Netflix functions in both rooms for those times when you want to watch separate shows). The shower in the master bedroom was heavenly and we appreciated the “thank you” products. As you are conveniently located in the CBD (everything is roughly a 15 min walk - Salamanca markets, the MONA ferry, Battery Point) there is a minor amount of traffic noise. However, I’m very sensitive to that and I had absolutely no issues with it during our stay (plus there next to no traffic on weekends). There is an awesome bottle shop on the corner from the apartment - independently owned with a great selection of local drops and very helpful staff (highly recommend). There is also a great cafe just up there street with excellent coffee. Now, last but not least, our wonderful host Karen! I cannot thank you enough for the hand written card, bubbles and chocolate. You are very thoughtful and made our stay that little bit more special. Thank you and we look forward to staying again.
