Jean's apartment was new and centrally located, making it comfortable and convenient to go to the Queen Victoria Market, Southern Cross Station or the CBD by foot. The building amenities (pool, gym) are great. Jean is responsive and helpful.
However, some improvements also could be made to bring this place to the next level. The sofa was broken, which made it quite uncomfortable to relax and watch tv (the fact that it is a convertible made things worse). The TV stand was also broken and repaired with duct tape. Balcony chair also broken. The furniture was quite cheap and probably second hand (the carpet was a muslim praying mat for example). The kitchen equipment was minimal (no coffee maker, no large plates, no bowls, no sieve, no salad spinner, no dish drying rack, no tea towels, no scissors, no oven mitt, no table mat, almost no kitchen utensils). It's a shame because a quick trip to Ikea would fix this easily at minimum cost and make the place appropriate for longer stays.
