Description was accurate. The apartment is close to a Coles plaza with cafes and fruit shop. The Waterloo/Zetland location is also conveniently close to the airport, eastern beaches and city. The area felt safe and clean. Just be conscious that there are students in the building as well and sometimes they play music or make noise but this did not last past the lawful hours for noise.
Would highly recommend the place as Jess and Michael left it very clean for us and they are also quick to communicate and very accomodating if you have reasonable needs.
