this apartment has everything you'd expect from a third party-managed brand new property with cost gearing in mind.
the pros:
- easy and secure parking (a real bonus in the city)
- fantastic location, and we loved the easy access to Albert park especially
- brand new, state of the art appliances
- fairly quiet neighbourhood too
- good insulation during the colder months
some points to note:
- there was no microwave in the apartment. we were assured beforehand it was built into the oven, but that was not the case at all and perhaps a case of the third party manager not being familiar with the appliances. we have given feedback and hopefully the host will consider installing a microwave.
- there were some teething issues with WiFi connectivity at the beginning. eventually this was sorted two days after checking in given weekends and public holidays, although we had to sort this out ourselves with another neighbouring unit.
- the apartment is furnished with fairly basic furniture. beds are basic spring mattresses, and bedding and linen were basic too. perhaps a duvet cover would be more hygienic instead of layering bedsheets.
all in all we had a pleasant stay nonetheless, and may consider coming back in the future.
