Firstly, the apartment is in a fantastic location and extremely clean with very modern furnishings. They also provide tea coffee sugar etc along with toiletries, which was very handy.
My 16yo son especially fell in love with the apartment as it was compact and very handy.
The air conditioning worked very well in the 40degree heat. For us the wifi didn’t work for a couple of hours but after that there was no problem.
Some things to be aware of:
1. The apartment for us was way too cramped for 4 people. Especially the living area. In my opinion it is better suited to a couple or 2 single people.
2. There is extra payment for more than 2 people in the apartment but they only provide 1 set of keys which is very inconvenient. They say an extra set can be provided at a cost about $40 extra. We didn’t really want to add more to the rather high cost of this apartment. Admittedly it was at the time of the Australian Open but even so we thought it was on the high side for what was provided.
3. The long email that welcomes you upon signing up is quite intimidating and mentions a swimming pool on level 2...without directions. The pool is quite difficult to find as it is in the next building which is interconnected at the car park level. Apparently there is another pool in the same building as the apartment which is mentioned at the back of the handbook. Unfortunately we didn’t go through the entire handbook as the email was quite substantial!
4. Carry your own pool towels as they only provide 1 towel per person for the stay.
All this said and done, I want to emphasise that this is a fantastic apartment for 2 people. The location especially is great to be in the city.
