Communication and entry to the apartment were good.
The very steep road is common for the area as many of the roads there are steep.
The apartment and courtyard (which includes communal garbage bins) were totally in the shade during the afternoons while we were here.
There are NO VIEWS at all from the apartment. You can’t even see the street from the windows and certainly not the lake or mountains. These views are possible from outside the apartment, but that is true of everywhere in Queenstown.
The kitchen is small as described. Unfortunately, the frying pan was badly burnt, flaky and beyond use, so we just heated some soups and had snacks. There is also no dining table or chairs—just a small coffee table and sofa. We didn’t see a BBQ grill.
We were blessed with good weather while we were there, so didn’t spend much time in the apartment. All in all, it is fine as a place to sleep for a few days, but not as good as we were led to believe by the description.
