We spent three months in Darren's apartment and it was an absolute pleasure, we can definitely recommend it.
The location is great with the best cafés and restaurants just around the corner, walking distance to waterfront and in the middle between the beaches and the inner-city. It is a very safe neighbourhood. The apartment is equipped with everything you need, even for a long stay and you can easily feel at home.
The communication with Darren worked great, he is a very nice host that always answers fast if you need help with anything.
The only negative thing is that the wifi isn't unlimited..
An extra tip; the yoga studio yoga life is close and really good! And SHIO restaurant is magic.
