The area is lovely! It is a great place to go for a walk around the bay, the streets are lined with trees and are generally quiet. There is also ample street parking out the front.
The apartment is clean and tidy and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The hosts live upstairs so you can expect to hear a little bit of noise noise (e.g. footsteps, music). It is quite cool inside which I imagine is lovely in summer, but it can get quite cold in winter, although Lynne provides plenty of blankets and there is also a gas heater which efficiently warms the space.
The kitchen is small but has everything you need. The cooktop was surprisingly efficient as I had never used a benchtop stove before. The microwave also performs the function of an oven, but I didn’t use it for this purpose so I can’t comment on it.
The bathroom is a ‘wet room’ style which can be slightly inconvenient when using the toilet or brushing your teeth at night as the floor will still be wet from your shower, but it is dry by morning. If you regularly use a hairdryer I recommend bringing your own. If you only use one on occasion or have short hair, there is a small travel-style hairdryer provided which will do the job just fine.
The bedroom is small and there isn’t a great deal of storage/wardrobe space, but there was enough for me. The bed was comfortable and there were enough blankets provided to keep warm on some very cold nights.
Overall, I really enjoyed my stay on Dalhousie St and I would stay here again.
Thanks Lynne!
