This spot was so convenient to public transportation, food, and the beach. The apartment has some lovely character and was mostly quiet. After traveling for a bit before, having a place with washer and dryer was amazing and the kitchen was a welcome respite. It was really easy for me to get groceries, to walk or get buses/trams to anywhere else, and to have some quiet time after all the amazing things to do in the area. It was lovely and quiet spot. The apartment (like my own home) has some charming old character, and is a bit worn in spots which may look like it isn't as clean as a brand-new place. The only cons for me were a faint smell of cigarette smoke constantly in the bedroom that I think came from a neighboring apartment and the literal off and on all night versions of "woohoooo" coming from behind the apartment (a hostel maybe and/or parking structure) on a few of the nights.
Because it was my first trip to Australia, I might have benefitted from some friendly reminders or introductions to how to separate the garbage, run the washer/dryer, and even how to best use the internet so I could better care for and utilize the apartment. Every country is a bit different and I don't know what I don't know.
On that note, if you are used to unlimited internet, it might be a good idea to adjust your usage or plan accordingly as I fell asleep with Netflix running one night thanks to jet-lag and the next night during an online work meeting to the States the internet went out until the next morning when Georgia was able to re-up the time.
