Overall a pretty pleasant stay, studio was exactly as the photos showed and as other reviews have mentioned, only basic amenities were provided so I was prepared for that and brought my own dishtowel, sponges, dish soap, etc. We also did purchase a couple of additional materials like - a throw to place over the sofa (as there were some stains on it but wasn’t too big of an issue for us), a baking tray, cooking condiments like salt and pepper, our own toiletries including toilet rolls, tissues, etc (which was informed in this listing that we had to provide ourselves for).
Laundry was in the basement and operates with a top-up card which you have to buy at $5. If you’d like, there’s also a laundromat just across the road.
I did have a couple of pests occurrence but nothing that was not fixed almost immediately. Some minor issues with WIFI on the first day but again, was resolved very quickly.
*Do take note that the team only responses during working hours - mon to Fri 9am-5pm. I initially thought it wasn’t an issue for me on this part but realized we had a huge misunderstanding on my “departure information” which unfortunately happened over a public holiday weekend, tried really hard to email, call, message but could not get a response, had to deal with the situation quite anxiously on the last day. Wish we could have had better ways to communicate with the host or even the management team. It was quite disappointing it happened on our last day as we enjoyed most parts of our stay but glad that was our only issue for this stay.
Loads of restaurants, cafes and bars blocks away from the apartment, subway (4, 5, 6 and Q) was very close by, about a 5-10 min walk away. Parks were nearby too.
Safety was our main concern and we’re very pleased that this location provided us with that.
Also take note that they charge you utilities on top of your AIRBNB rental.
I stayed in this apartment with my sister for a little more than 2 months and would likely recommend it.
