We arrived on a Saturday and as the hosts office was shut, no meet and greet service, keys simply left in an locked box off site. There was A4 sheet with some info contained, more so outlining additional costs if we ran over power usage, etc - not mentioned in the Airbnb listing or details so not applicable - can only assume they list elsewhere and this was their generic sheet.
Collected keys, building itself easy to find and quickly located car parking space on level 6 which fitted my Ford Ranger with ease.
Apartment is on floor 8, so a short lift ride and very close to both the Gym and Pool, very idillic.
First entering the apartment can’t help but notice the cheap laminate floor underfoot, heavily worn in places and both marked and dirty. Furniture much to be desired, worn, scratched and old. We didn’t risk sitting on one of the dining room chairs in fear of it collapsing.
Good choice and plates, glasses, utensils, etc, however, all put in the dishwasher as dirty.
Fridge and air con had been turned off, consequently, took a few hours to cool down.
Beds - clean and very comfortable, the saving grace!
Kitchen units are high gloss, I know from experience these are difficult to keep clean, however the number of finger marks are very noticeable. Extractor fan, very dirty.
The air con outlet in the sitting room has previously leaked with water marks very visible on the wall.
WiFi was good when working, however the connection repeatedly dropped.
Street noise was quite high, but I believe this was due to the time of year.
The pool is on the same level and matter of yards away - good size with two hot tubs.
Location is excellent, just off Queen Street and good walking distance to a number of attractions.
Didn’t hear from the hosts for the entire duration on the stay, which is unusual given we stayed for 7 nights. No communication re check out and simply guessed on returning the keys back to the secondary address apposed to the reception of the building.
Disappointing is the summary. Unfortunately cost does not represent quality, apartment desperately requires refurbishment and cleaning standards need improving.
