The location is very convenient, with cafes, the waterfront, the hospital, and the CBD within 15 - 20 minutes walking distance. When I stepped in the door, my first thoughts were "Powerful smell of disinfectant - I guess that's encouraging" and "It's bigger than it looks in the photos." Opening a few windows soon got rid of the disinfectant smell. If you live in an inner-city apartment or townhouse, as I used to do, you probably won't be bothered by the traffic noise or by occasionally hearing people in the rest of the house. The furnishings, including the bed, were comfortable, the kitchen was adequate for cooking a simple one-pot meal, and all the appliances were bright and shiny.
