The Pros: The apartment was clean and cute. The beds slept great. It was nice as a family of 5 to have 2 bathrooms and that the kids had their own beds. The wifi worked great throughout the apartment. In a good location - about a 15-20 minute walk to Waverley station. The parking spot is also great - you can see it from the window. The host provided detailed check in instructions regarding keys with details and photos (much appreciated). There's a lift, although it's only up one flight of steps. It was handy for our luggage. The managing company is really responsive to messages and were good at communicating details.
The Cons: Check-in, if driving, is a pain (disregard this if arriving by train - then it's very handy). You must get the keys at Waverley Station about a 15 min walk from the apartment. If you are driving, it's even worse. We ended up parking at a nearby Tesco, walking down, and then driving over. The fob for the gate is in the apartment, which means someone has to circle the block, which isn't terrible, but in traffic was no fun. Check-out is just as bad because the drop off is at the same location. I waited in the apartment to have access to the key fob to open the gate because we didn't want to drive downtown. The owner needs to invest in a MasterLock box, especially since they can't meet in person due to COVID. They had sent me the check in instructions before, so I knew check in was elsewhere, but didn't think through what a pain it would be. The parking fob was also falling apart. Owner needs to invest in a new one and leave it with the keys for check-in.
Additional FYI: The kitchen has basics, but needs a larger pot and/or skillet because they only had smaller saucepans. No oil or salt/pepper is provided (likely due to COVID) so bring your own. The front door key didn't work for us, but thankfully the garden gate/back door opened fine. The trash bags rip very easily - I would put another bag in the can right away because we had a mess trying to get a full bag out to toss it in the rubbish bin.
Overall: This is a really nice flat, but check-in especially needs to be re-evaluated.
