On arrival we were shown around the apartment by Mary’s friend who kindly suggested the best sightseeing spots around Sydney for a weekend. The location of Mary’s apartment is within 30 minutes’ walk to CBD, convenient for sightseeing. The building and the area is a quiet residential area. The peace is broken when it rained at night; the rain hitting the window was enough to keep us awake all night.

The apartment was let down by it lack of cleanliness. The crockery on the open shelf was greasy to touch. The bath and shower screens need a good scrub. The badly fitted toilet seat was cracked, held together with tape on the underside.
