Positives:
- Quick communication from hosts.
- Handy location, close to William St and Oxford St.
- Relatively quiet place given the proximity to William St, only disruptive noise came from people on the sidewalk talking and garbage collection.
- Decent cooktop and frying pan for preparing meals.
- Interesting architecture in the apartment.
Cons:
- Apartment wasn't as clean as it should be, however the host was prompt in mediating a solution.
- Bed, pillows and lounge are not the most comfortable.
- Bedroom is very small and difficult to get into the bed.
There isn't room for a bedside table (not visible in photos). This means there is nowhere to put phone, alarm clock or other items.
- Lighting in the apartment is not great.
There are plenty of lamps with extension cords all over the place.
- Shower water pressure is quite weak.
- Sliding bedroom doors are unable to be used as they have come off the tracks.
They are quite heavy and potentially dangerous if you push/pull in the wrong direction.
- The key lockbox is attached to a tree and sits in the dirt.
Trying to open it is very difficult as dirt has gotten into the number dials.
When it has been raining your hands end up covered it mud.
I personally wouldn't stay at this apartment in the future.
I was very disappointed with the cleanliness of the apartment.
However, the communication from the hosts is quick and they attempted to rectify the issues I had.
The apartment in person isn't as nice as the images and feels a little run down.
I expected better for the price and description of the apartment.
