Sheehan’s place is a bright, airy first floor apartment in a great location which overlooks parkland and the large internal courtyard and tennis court. It has great views across to the Ivanhoe clocktower and the Dandenongs and the city skyline.
The neighbours were quiet and friendly and the complex has some nice communal touches like shared veggie patch and compost. The gym and pool were closed during our stay due to COVID-19, so unfortunately, we didn’t get to try them out.
It’s an older style place that is comfortable but showing its age – lots of broken handles, chipped tiles etc, but mostly cosmetic, so nothing that affects your enjoyment too much. The kitchen is well equipped and has been redone. The house plants were lovely, as were the chocolates and welcome note reminding us to water them.
On the minus side, when we arrived the apartment was barely superficially clean – dust balls under furniture and an old drink bottle under one bed, heavy build up of dust on and under furniture, general grime in corners etc – which was disappointing. The lack of mattress protectors on the beds is also a bit off in shared accommodation.
On the whole we enjoyed our stay and found Sheehan and his reps responsive in answering queries and ensuring things went smoothly for us. Thanks for having us Sheehan.
