Simple apartment with outstanding views of the waves crashing on the north Maroubra headland. I paid $55 a night + cleaning and service fees, which was a fab price for the view and location.
Note, the living space does not have a kitchen sink, so this limits what you can cook with the plug-in stove. You'll have to take dirty dishes, by hand, down the hall to the bathroom sink. The detergent and drying rack are in the bottom drawer of the bathroom vanity.
So, don't plan to cook anything more than an omelette. This isn't a problem as Maroubra has a good range of cafes and take-away restaurants close-by.
The only doors that lock entrance to the art studio below the apartment and the bedroom door. So, whoever has access to the art studio below the apartment could walk into the living space. Minor problem but means the apartment isn't totally secure.
I don't believe there is a broom or dustpan in the apartment but the host has provided a dustbuster. When I was staying there, it was located left of the bathroom vanity.
Bathroom is clean and spacious with a good shower.
I had minimal dealings with the host but all dealings were pleasant and the host was quick to respond.
Overall, nice place, great value at 55 a night. I had a lovely time with my partner, looking out at the ocean. I hope to stay again later this year.
