Judy’s accommodation offered a lovely garden which made for a great place to sit with a cuppa after our long day of renovations at our investment that weekend. We were travelling with tools and had chosen Judy’s as the listing had said free parking on premises as well as street parking - when we arrived, there was another car in the driveway and when when we asked about parking in the drive, we were told we’d need to park in the street. It meant unloading all of our tools into the house for the one night stay - this was a little inconvenient. The bed was also advertised as a king however, we feel it is most likely a double as we usually sleep on a king at home and had chosen Judy’s for this reason - unsure whether the bed has been switched out since the listing went live and perhaps not updated.
There was a lot of noise from the conjoined back unit - we could hear people’s actual conversations and heavy footsteps moving around late into the night - for this reason, we feel it is a stretch to call this listing an entire apartment; even though you aren’t sharing a lounge or bathroom with others, it still felt like we had to whisper and creep around so as not to disturb the other tenant. The divider wall between the two residences may not be adequately insulated to address noise or perhaps it is the wooden floors that add to the noise transmission. There was a flashing smoke alarm in the hallway which meant having to keep the bedroom door closed all night as the flashing was approximately every 30 seconds. Being able to move the pedestal fan into the bedroom was a welcome addition as the apartment was quite hot this particular night. We would recommend the addition of a air conditioner/heat pump so future guests can be more comfortable.
The shower and bathroom were clean and spacious - the extra space in the shower was appreciated as were the twin sinks.
We enjoyed the art pieces - a favourite being the blue traditional lions on the mantle. You can see that Judy has taken care to curate an interesting collection of feature pieces which does enhance the character and charm of the apartment. Overall, Judy offers a great little apartment and we feel just needs to adjust some of the listing details to avoid future guest disappointment with parking, shared space and bed size.
