We stayed here for two months while we sold our house nearby in the inner west so our perspectives are based on a long term stay with small kids.
Krystina’s apartment is very conveniently located - Erskineville has such a lovely village feel. Park across the road was fantastic to get the kids out as well as lots of other pocket parks around the neighbourhood. Alexandria Oval is also great.
There are lots of kids toys and books which were great and a library worth of books for older readers. There’s a basketball and a basketball ring in the park across the road.
The living space in the apartment is pretty small and there is no dining table inside. You can sit at the bench but that’s pretty crowded for a family of 4. There is an outside balcony table that we used most of the time but not sure that would work as well in winter or if the weather was very wet.
There is no laundry in the apartment, the washing machine is in the kitchen but again in winter it would be very hard to get a family’s worth of clothes dry I think.
We were also working from home and the internet is not very strong, particularly in the back bedroom where the desk is. We ended up buying a 30m lan cable which improved it a bit but there were quite a few drop outs.
Upstairs beds were comfy. We didn’t use the one downstairs. The upstairs rooms don’t have any windows but there is aircon in both.
As previous reviewers have noted the pool in the complex is not very attractive. The pool itself is fine but the surrounding walls and space need some love. According to some other residents it will be renovated after summer. The kids had a lot of fun in the pool.
Overall we had a good stay.
