The location of the apartment is brilliant. On the 16th level of the building right on Lavender Bay with views across the Harbour to the Sydney Harbour Bridge, Opera House and City.
Also, it was VERY quiet. We never saw another tenant during our 5 days stay!!
Detailed written instructions about how to find the building would have been helpful.
We arrived early one evening and wasted around half-an-hour calling the owner while trying to find the building as the entrance is tucked down a laneway, secured by a boom-gate and signage was lacking.
Entry and exit to the site was problematic as the boom-gate was difficult to activate and numerous times were locked in or out of the site.
Upon entering the apartment we were underwhelmed. While it has the basics and was fairly clean, it is very, very tired and in desperate need of an update.
The furniture, couch and chair are in desperate need of replacing or deep cleaning. The remote had no batteries; a light bulb in the kitchen needed replacing, the safe couldn’t be accessed as it was locked shut, the wall mounted tissue box in the bathroom was empty. The liquid soap in the soap containers in the bathroom and kitchen had been watered-down and the cupboards shelves in the kitchen would benefit greatly by being lined. Some of the crockery and cutlery hadn’t been washed properly.
The apartment would suffice for a one or two night stay, but longer than that could be quite depressing.
The views and sunrises from this apartment are spectacular.
