My husband and I had such a lovely stay at Liz's place and Liz was an extremely gracious, kind and helpful host, willing to share all her tips and recommendations about the local area and the city. The apartment is beautiful, very well kept and pefectly situated for a single/couple seeking the beach lifestyle (it's just across the road), shopping and restaurants (eg. Acland Street just around the corner) and access to the city without having to stay within the bustle. The historic apartment complex feels very safe and secure and the neighbours all seem really polite (they all said hello and asked how we were). It was the perfect spot for us to get to know the area we'd soon be living in and definitely felt like home for the 3 weeks we were there, particularly when we hung out and had dinner/drinks on the beautiful balcony. Liz even joined us on a couple of occasions, but she was also very considerate of our privacy. Liz was very understanding of our situation (having to cart most of our belongings around with us and trudge them through her apartment) and accommodating to our needs, not to mention extremely generous with her time when we needed help and information. The on-site (coin operated) laundry facilities were a huge help. As the apartment is situated on the first floor, I'd suggest the stairs might not be suitable for people with mobility issues, but besides that, I'd recommend Liz's place to anyone. It's a beauty!
