Wow! This place is 5 stars in every way. The location is SUPERB - Maroubra Beach is a slice of Paradise and you can see the beach from the apartment which is wonderful. There are SO many coastal walks you can do from here, the bus service is excellent and cheap and you can either swim in the sea or in the seawater pool. The apartment is gorgeous - a real home from home and lots of helpful touches like the coffee machine and access to salt, pepper, spices. The building work really didn't bother me at all - I was there until mid-January and I think maybe the worst of the noise is over. I would absolutely stay here again, brilliant holiday and brilliant host THANK YOU
