I usually write reviews raving about places I’ve stayed at but unfortunately this wasn’t the case. As much as I wanted to leave a good review, I think it’s only fair I’m honest and say this stay is for those who aren’t fussed on cleanliness & those little details to make it feel homey.
We arrived and all seemed really good, to then sit on the couch and find it not only incredibly uncomfortable (to the point we didn’t even want to sit on it because it was like sitting on the floor) but extremely dirty. We had to put a sheet on it as we didn’t want to sit on it without. The cushions that are on the couch were dirty and seemed like they hadn’t been washed in a while.
There were decorative cushions on the bed that didn’t have removal covers that looked well and truely used that were resting on the pillows we had to sleep with which we feel like shouldn’t have been there at all for hygiene reasons.
The toilet paper was 1 ply and felt like sandpaper, along with only having 3 rolls for a whole week.
The chair on the balcony was taped together.
Overall, we felt like there was no thought in wanting the guest to feel at home and didn’t think to put those little details in the home that can make a big difference. There weren’t any cooking extra’s like oil, salt & pepper which I think should be essential in a place that has a fully equipped kitchen to use.
The bathroom is incredibly small and isn’t the same bathroom in the photos and the kitchen is tiny. The apartment is only suitable for 2 people maximum.
Keep in mind also, the apartment is right next to the rubbish shoot which was smelly every time we entered and exited the room.
Other than those things, the place is modern to an extent and the location is great, you have everything underneath you like woolies and heaps of shops and the train station, coffee places and tonnes of amazing Asian cuisine. It was just a shame the apartment didn’t live up to the expectation.
