The location is very nice, a quiet street close to shops and cafes on Bondi Rd and a nice park, a bus ride from the beach and train/Westfield. Lovely ocean view out of the large main bedroom and dining room. While I found the apartment beautiful to look at (love the Art Deco style), it wasn't as well-equipped as I expected, and therefore we had to spend a lot of time and extra money sourcing some basic essentials. The most frustrating one was coffee, as the listing inaccurately said there was a nespresso machine but it was in fact some Aldi brand (which took research and trial and error to figure out) and there were zero pods for it. We also had to buy our own detergent (only one packet was provided), paper towels and tissues (none provided), and do laundry to have enough clean towels for the week. The gas stove required hand lighting but no long lighter was provided so you had to burn your finger to use it. The fireplace wasn't working--they were quick to communicate that they would fix this right away, which I appreciated, but we didn't need it urgently so declined--I point it out because the listing says fireplace and heating and in fact the fireplace is the only source of heating available. The second bedroom is quite small and the beds are not super comfortable. Finally, the bathroom sink fills up quickly and splurts everywhere, but the rain shower was quite nice. In summation, there were plenty of plusses about the apartment and the communication with the hosts was good, but the lack of essentials means we couldn't rate this as highly as we otherwise would have.
