Great communication from the host with full instructions on every aspect of the stay and the apartment received by email several times
Pros:
Very clean upmarket apartment with latest appliances, well equipped kitchen and laundry, comfortable beds and nice linen and furniture throughout. (Generally) Very quiet complex and easy walking distance to cafes, beach, public transport. Free car parking a bonus.
Cons:
Hot, stuffy, windowless, and dark classic ‘shoebox’ living.
Only ventilation is by the single sliding door and a small awning window at entrance. Couldn’t open the door at night due to mozzies and had to sleep on the couch two nights as bedrooms too hot and zero airflow (unless you want to turn on and listen to the AC all night)
Apartment is on the first floor in the middle of the building so you need to go out to Fitzroy St to see if the sun is shining or what the weather is like. (Lights turned on even during the day as no natural sunlight can get in)
