Lisa and Alastair’s Bondi Beach Pad is a great place to stay. It’s comfortable, really well-appointed and in a brilliant position for the beach. However, a couple of things impacted on our decision to give lower ratings for some areas. Although it does have a physical television in the living room, it cannot be used unless you have a) good wifi and b) a physical cable to link your laptop to the tv – i.e. watching your streaming channels through the tv. We had neither. Wifi during the first week at least was so poor we couldn’t even send emails. It did improve during our second week. Also, apparently, a recent guest had taken the adaptor cable needed to connect our laptop to the tv. We discovered this early in the first week and were promised a replacement cable would be delivered the next evening. This never arrived, so no tv, except on our laptop. In addition, we reported that the beach umbrella had been broken when we first took it to the beach, but didn’t receive acknowledgement of this for more than a week – by which time we hade left and returned to England. Despite these issues, we did enjoy our stay at the Pad.
