Whilst there are certainly positive aspects to this listing, the first negative I feel obliged to point out is regarding safety. To access the apartment, guests are required to walk approx 100m away from the building and then down a secluded, dodgy, and poorly lit alleyway where a key safe is located. Both times I accessed the key safe (checking in & out) there were numerous unidentified characters in the alleyway, one of them was rummaging through a nearby skip. I'm a confident 40-year-old male and even I was uncomfortable so I can only imagine how unsafe this experience might be for a woman. The owner seriously needs to find a safer place for the key asap.
The second issue I had with this booking was regarding an error in the listing that lead me to believe it contained a certain feature which turned out not to be so. A feature that was central to my booking. I won't label it as I believe it has since been rectified. It did however significantly affect the stay so I accepted a discount from the host's support team as compensation.
The third issue, albeit minor, was the street noise. If you're a light sleeper, take ear plugs!
The positives: The price and location are great! An easy 2 min walk from the nearest tram stop, approx 10 mins by tram into the heart of the city, and close to many other areas of interest either by car or tram. TIP: the best and closest overnight parking is at "Care-Park" in Montague St ($16 p/d). The "Wilson" lot mentioned in the check-in instructions no longer exists and the "Ace" lot also mentioned is further away, impossible to find, and less secure.
