Overall, we had a really lovely stay at Darren's apartment. It is in a great location and offers really good value for money. The bed is comfortable, the coffee table is practical, and the space is clean and bright.
It is clear this place has lots of details and homely touches which were greatly appreciated. There are also draws and cupboards so it never felt like it was too cramped, despite being a small apartment. Also, the place is so easy to keep clean and organised.
The bathroom is a nice size. The shower had great water pressure and consistently hot water. Again, it was easy to keep clean and maintain.
The kitchen wasn't amazing to cook in as it was very small and the bench space is tiny. The electric stove didn't heat up well. However, there were plenty of facilities in the kitchen such as pots and pans which was good. There was a kettle, toaster, and sandwich press too so we had plenty of options.
It would have been nice to have extra linens available. We were only there for 3 weeks, but any longer you'd want to change them. The washing machine in the building costs $8 (didn't use the dryer). There are good drying racks provided in the apartment.
Communication with Darren and Barry was beyond perfect. They are so helpful, organised with check in, quick to respond, and willing to help when needed. They are both doing an awesome job at making sure people have a good stay here. Well done!
