Reasons to stay here: Super comfy sofa and mattresses! Well equipped kitchen, convenient location about one tram stop outside the CBD and next to multiple tram stops. Nice view of the trams without much noise from them. It's on a side street so not much traffic noise and there's a convenience store and petrol station around the corner, plus good Pho, a supermarket (Metro) and a great coffee shop (Corner Co) all within an 8 min walk. Also near the river. Included parking is a huge plus! Charlotte is super responsive and easy to reach.
Minor downsides: Need to climb up one storey of stairs with no lift (didn't see this anywhere in the listing, not a biggie for us but may affect others), some minor noise on Fri/Sat evening from ppl out and about for the night.
Areas for improvement: Master bedframe was broken leading to sagging issues (others reported this too). Rather disappointing since the host said in an earlier post she wld check the frame and I would think it's not hard to see this when replacing the mattress. But should be fixed by the next stay we hope! Also instructions to get from carpark to apartment could only be found inside the apartment, and bizarrely the apartment door wasnt labelled with the unit number so we had to do some sleuthing to figure out which apartment to try to open. Charlotte's attentiveness makes me believe all these should be fixed before the next stay so hopefully it won't be a problem for others.
Overall, def recommend this if you need somewhere comfortable really near the city, and u don't mind one flight of stairs, and even more so if you drive. Thanks Charlotte!
