Not a great stay or experience.
This apartment is not on the top floor, you have the pipes of the actual penthouse coming through the wall behind the master bed from the above penthouse.
This apartment is also not 'luxury'. The bed has a very old spring mattress that has no pillow top or pocket springs making it very uncomfortable, and also a very light quilt as a doona. We were uncomfortable and cold. Had two terrible nights of sleep.
There are holes in the plaster behind each of the doors as there are no door stops, and holes in the lower part of the window frame that are covered by pots. The mouldings are in very poor shape, the furniture is very outdated with large visible scratches.
The lounge faces inward to a huge TV you can't see unless you shut the blinds.
Yes the view is nice when you stand at the window (there are no lounge chairs that face the windows), but really it is the same view you can get from much nicer apartments. This one is very outdated. The host is renting this apartment and subletting and told us on the way up the lift the hotel it is in is not so happy about this arrangement that made us feel very uncomfortable. When we told the host that there was a lot of things damaged in the apartment she said they could not be fixed as they did not own the apartment. Even the front door did not work properly which caused us grief trying to negotiate three children out and to the lift.
A defensive and overly fussy host. Very very disappointing and absolutely not worth the money.
