Oliver's location in Darlinghurst was superb. We absolutely loved the neighborhood and the proximity we were to the things in the city that we wanted to do. We could not have asked for a better location. In addition, his recommendations on local hotspots were great. We enjoyed our time at each of them.

However, his home was very small and not the cleanest or most sanitary. We had to kill a cockroach in the middle of the living room. Also, the apartment was very worn-in and felt more like a college dorm room than "resort-style living." For example, the carpet seems to have been at least 20 years old. There was also mold and/or rust around many of the older fixtures (like the shower). Our holiday was 20 days long, so we had plenty of luggage with us. There was not much space to walk around in the apartment once the bags were opened. The wardrobe was empty and available for clothing storage, but it had a very strong moldy/musty smell that filled the room when opened. We kept it shut if at all possible. Also, at one point I needed to iron a shirt, and the iron was cordless and not charged, so I decided to put it on the charge and wait an hour. However, it simply didn't work. I was at a loss for time at that point, and just had to wear a creased shirt out to our event for the evening. It was a minor inconvenience, but just noteworthy.

Size aside, Oliver did think of everything. The home was stocked with essentials and more. I was very pleased with his hospitality and kindness. We were always met with a smile. We had an issue one day where we needed to print tickets, and he popped right over to help us. Within minutes, we had what we needed.
