Rebecca was a great host even though she couldn’t meet us as she was unwell. She arranged for her mum Lily to receive us and show us the apartment. Even though we didn’t speak Chinese, Lily was very friendly and helpful in showing stuff like the washing machine and dryer. Further communication with Rebecca via the app was easy as she was quite responsive.
The apartment was generally clean. The kitchen was equipped with plates, bowls, cutleries, pans and even saucepans. We used the gas stove, kettle, toaster and microwave easily. An oven and dishwasher was provided though we didn’t use it. Used the provided sponge and dishwashing liquid instead.
There’s a Woolsworth a few blocks away which made groceries easy to get. And it was about a 5 minutes walk to the Queen Victoria Market. To get to the main shopping district it’s about a 10 minute walk. There’s a lot of asian food around the area too.
The wait for the lifts can be long as there’s 62 floors. But actually it didn’t go beyond 5 minutes, and that usually happened in the morning and evening as people go about their school/work.
