Pretty average. Good location and comfy bed, but small and stuffy and wouldn’t stay again.
Pros:
- excellent location, easy access to glebe point road and nice leafy street in quiet location
- comfortable bed
- easy unlimited street parking on weekends and evenings, limited to two hours until 6pm on weekdays
- nice quality bedding and furnishings
- good quality appliances (fridge, washing machine, oven)
- Netflix on the tv was good on the one day of our stay that the internet was working
Cons:
- small and stuffy
- overcrowded with furniture for the size of the apartment - no room for luggage and difficult to move around in the space due to the amount of furniture crammed in
- no air con - was uncomfortably warm at night with only a small tower fan provided
- windows not secure - unable to be locked, screen off one window so only one window able to be opened with no airflow and did not feel secure or safe to leave valuables inside ground floor apartment
- no top sheet on the bed - only a doona which was too warm in March given the lack of air con/ventilation
- no working bathroom light - arrived to find bathroom light fitting removed and sitting on the bathroom counter, with no light bulb. Otherwise dark room with no windows/no other source of light. I contacted maintenance on Saturday afternoon shortly after check in to request a replacement light bulb. I was then woken by multiple calls to my mobile early Sunday morning by maintenance, which I did not answer to avoid also waking my partner. We went out for the day, and returned to find a note from maintenance saying the light bulb was on order and could not be replaced, and a lamp had been provided instead. The lamp was a bulky floor lamp from Kmart (packaging found discarded on foot path outside) which was in the way in the small bathroom and provided just enough light to take a shower/use the toilet. Doing make-up was a challenge, with no other mirror in the apartment. I was surprised and a bit unimpressed that no alternative bathroom lighting or notice about the issue was provided prior to us arriving and contacting maintenance ourselves, since the light fitting was out of place and it was clearly a known issue
- WiFi not working for 2 out of 3 days of our stay - tried the trouble shooting steps provided in the guide with no success, decided it was not worth the effort of contacting host/maintenance about this after the bathroom light experience
Overall, I wouldn’t stay again. I do think this could be a great little Airbnb with the addition of air con, some locks/security screens on the windows and rethinking the amount of furniture crammed into such a small space
