The location of Clair’s apartment is unbeatable: central, across from Prince Alfred Park (with its wonderful pool and sports facilities), close to Surry Hills’s many cafés and restaurants as well as other attractive neighborhoods; we basically walked anywhere. Likewise, the views from the balcony are fantastic, day and night. However, having booked the apartment for almost five weeks, we were quite surprised that it was not clean when we arrived. Clair reacted with very little understanding, yet took care of the issues that were obvious at first sight (floors, fridge, bathroom cabinets) and arranged for (2 hours) of cleaning at mid-stay. Still, the apartment needs a basic cleaning. In addition, you need to be ready to kill the occasional small cockroach in the bathrooms and kitchen. The apartment itself and its perfect location makes up for these efforts.
