Stayed 5nights, here’s my honest review.
Pros:
This place is nicely renovated, bedroom is comfortable and has a good mattress. The balcony & bedroom has really nice views/close proximity to Maroubra beach. There are cafes within walking distance, perfect for getting coffee & breakfast.
Cons:
Building is dated and overall feel doesn’t seem great - lift lobby light is broken for the entire duration of stay. Lift was out of use for a few times, so we had to use the stairs to climb 5 levels to get to apartment.
Apartment can feel smaller than in photos. (Shower area is quite tight)
Water pressure for shower is weak.
Insufficient toiletries provided /had to purchase own toilet paper/kitchen napkins.
Walls are not very soundproof - can hear when the neighbour next door gets a little loud at night with the tv or moving furniture.
Laundry machines weren’t actually for communal use. Had a bad experience where one of the permanent residents there took away my laundry and I had to knock on doors to find out who because I had used the dryer that apparently belonged to her.
