it was OK. aside from some issues.
*the front yard was full of rubbish and overgrown with weeds.
*the hallway stank of stale cigarette smoke which wafted through the apartment.
*the dishwasher broke down and flooded the kitchen... which soaked all our shopping (sitting on the floor). the owner sent three "handymen", all of whom had no tools and just looked at the dishwasher and said 'its broken'.
*there had been a dog in the apartment recently and there was lots of hair around the place (we found a dog ball under the bed in the second bedroom)
*the shower screen fell down, because it wasn't properly secured to the wall.
*the kitchen was missing essentials such as coffee mugs, togs, veggie peeler, bottle opener, etc. its was not a "Fully equiped kitchen" as claimed on the ad.
*the lounge room TV doesn't work (it has no reception... only netflix). which was very disappointing when we tried to watch the world cup on it.
*the bedroom TV doesn't work (it has no reception and netflix is not logged in).
*the apartment is very close to a train line, and the trains are very loud and run almost continuously. this is not mentioned on the ad.
*there was one roll of toilet paper... for 6 people for 7 days. there should be more toilet paper. Amenities list: Towels, bed sheets, soap, and toilet paper
*there was no Dryer, despite being listed on the Amenities list.
on the positive side, it was 100 metres from our old house, and we were in our old neighbourhood.
the upstairs apartment is pretty awesome (aside from the previously mentioned TV issues)
if it was cheaper, then all this would be acceptable. but at A$3000 for 7 days, it isnt acceptable.
