Had a minor glitch when I arrived at the property (was given the wrong code for the door) but that was quickly rectified by the owner. The unit was clean and comfortable. The location is only a short walk from the beach and tram lines. Enjoyed my stay.

Location was excellent: short walk to shops, beach, trams, bus. Quiet location, very safe. Owner was so very helpful, even tried to help find us accommodation when our Adelaide CBD rental fell through at the last minute. We would highly recommend this as a priority stay.

My daughter and I had a wonderful 4 night stay over Easter. This lovely apartment was clean, well appointed and a perfect position for us. Close to beach, shops and cafes. Car park directly out the front made coming and going very easy. Would definitely like to stay here again if visiting Glenelg

Very happy with the property. It was very clean and tidy and catered for all our needs. We could eat in or we could go out as Jetty Road is walking distance. Car parking available and close to public transport as well. No stairs to cope with either.

Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy
Absolutely appalling service, check in was a debacle, waiting on the phone for three hours, four different people, was asked to call THEM back on two occasions between being put on hold. Eventually sorted out a room, stains on bed, cigarette burns everywhere on the floor. Required help from the on site cleaner to acquire toilet paper. Was the most atrocious accommodation experience I've ever had.
