The apartment being so close to the water was quite cold in winter and an extra decent size heater would have been helpful. The 2 heaters in the apartment weren't enough as the 3rd small foot heater kept tripping the power and you had to go out to the power board to flip the switch. Didn't use it after that. There were extra doonas in the cupboard which were useful for when in bed but when walking around the apartment, the heat distribution was uneven. There was just 1 small pot and a frying pan to cook with which wasn't enough when cooking for a young family. The kitchen drawers and bottom cupboards were stuck and in some cases broken. This was also reported by another guest some months ago. It didn't seem like the cupboards and cutlery drawers were cleaned out properly in a while as there were crumbs, dust and little remnants around. Cutlery had stains on them so had to rewash before use. Washing machine and detergent was available to use. Street parking is hard to get as most local resident cars park on the street, there are however a few 2 hour parking spots close by if you're lucky enough to get it. You can get a 24hr parking permit from the host for $10 a day. Laundry is up on the next landing and is coin operated and signs are not to use after 8pm. Handy cooking ingredients such as olive oil, salt, pepper, breakfast cereals, sugar, honey and a selection of teas to name a few were provided. I left behind for the next guest some teas, cereals, milk and water, all sealed, and trust they are acceptable with the host. The view is stunning, it was somewhat hindered by building works, but I was advised at the time of booking and reasonable options offered. The host response time for enquiries is well within the hour. A great place for summer, but the lack of heating distribution and selection of cooking utensils especially marred our stay, when we had 2 young children. There are cafes/restaurants close by, however, eating out every night is not a great option for children. Lastly the host was very accommodating in allowing checkout an hour later.
