I was in town to help out with a child in surgery, so not your usual tourist visit. It was quiet, and Bronte is a great area for sure, but I feel those are qualities of a neighborhood and other tenants in the building. The actual apartment was grungier than anything I’ve ever stayed in. Cleaners had superficially cleaned just fine, but kitchen had that decades-old grease smell, and I felt, c’mon, you can buy 3$ decent mugs at a Reject shop not chipped stained and no dish soap! pillows were filthy and walls and ceiling stained, dust, expired dusty cockroach motels, killed a few- one ran across me! Op shop towels. I guess there’s no need to care because it’s a highly sought after area. Great if you just sleep, go to beach, eat in restaurants and don’t care about a clean place. It has a hostel vibe. Maybe being older I’m more discerning. I put a towel on sofa ‘cause it was so stained just couldn’t sit directly on it!
I caught a cold and no energy to contact for cleaners to come back.
