We had an enjoyable 3 night stay at Jo & Ivan’s. Communication was excellent & check in very straightforward with thoughtful touches like toiletries, milk & cereal. The description makes no bones about the size of the place so do take note - it is *very* small. The door opens into the bedroom (the largest room) & from there there’s a living room, kitchen & bathroom. The space & how to use it has clearly been thought about so everything fits in its place. We only had hand luggage which was fine but it would be difficult to find somewhere to put large suitcases without falling over them. The bed was comfy. The kitchen is equipped with a reasonable sized fridge, microwave, cooker & hob but I wouldn’t try making anything too complex in the small space - cereal, a sandwich, ready meal etc is fine but a gourmet meal may pose a challenge. There are any number of places to eat nearby so this isn’t a particular issue. The water pressure in the shower is great.
We were there during a hot & humid spell so the bedroom aircon & the living room fan were much in demand & made it comfortable.
The apartment is on the ground floor & at the back of the house. We could hear the people in the apartment above walking around but it wasn’t intrusive at all. The back door leads out to a shared laundry so occasionally we’d see people walking right past the windows so keeping the curtains/blinds down gives a bit more privacy.
Given how central it is, we were further from the bus routes than we’d imagined - but that may just be the routes we ended up using. There was a bus stop which was very close but it didn’t go where we wanted to go, so we did lots of 15 min walks to/from the bus stops on Oxford St - fine during the day but late at night there were a few people under the influence of various things & behaving unpredictably on & around Oxford St (not on Womerah St itself). As well as various eateries, there’s also a fantastic cinema & bar nearby which was great. And a shockingly priced second-hand designer clothes shop.
