James is a nice guy but I wasn’t overly impressed with the unit. The location was the main problem, right on the main road so noisy and issues with parking as it was a clearway out the front frequently and very competitive parking in side streets. There was next to zero food storage and I had to bring a trolley from home! Other negatives included a fairly bad ant problem and badly laid out kitchen where I had to lean right over to even access the sink. Also only one, rather uncomfortable couch. Air conditioning was strange as it was mostly just hot all the time even with air con off in the middle of winter. Massive problems with the wifi which was down three times over 4 weeks, on one occasion for 36 hours. Not his fault, rather NBN but still extremely inconvenient. Host did offer to pay for extra data.
Positives are that the apartment itself is spacious and clean, the beds are comfortable and there is good clothes storage area. The TV, washer/dryer, dishwasher and stereo are good.
Excellent security as I found out when I locked myself out!
There is not a lot going on around here as far as cafes etc
