The inside of this apartment is the same as shown in the photos, it’s clean and spacious. And it is a very close walk to the shops.
But the problem was everything outside the apartment. The building it is located in appears to be a ex government commission flat, very dirty and dark. Bags of rubbish all throughout the front yard, a random frying pan was lying on the ground. The views off the balcony were of the bins behind the Rosebud cinema. The worst bit were the neighbours inside the apartment block. One had there belongings scattered throughout the stairwell on the walk up to the apartment. We heard a few screaming at each other and swearing. One neighbour had a sign on his door saying “f**k off”. Felt very uneasy and unsafe staying in this building. Chris was aware of the neighbour having a tough time. To his credit he was happy to give me a refund.
For the price we paid for this apartment you could find something much nicer and safer throughout the peninsula. If you are willing to stay here I would suggest asking for photos of the apartment complex as there are none listed in the Airbnb ad which I felt was very misleading. I have photos of everything and have raised the issue with AirBnB.
