Apartment not as described No Bay view it was a park view if you lent over the balcony you could glimpse water through the trees just A very tired unit that needs updating Bathroom bench top completely cracked and not safe Check in was supposed to be three pm and we didn’t get in until after 5 as cleaners were working hard to get everything done Not worth paying extra for this unit like we did So many better places to stay at the waterfront at a better rate We were both very disappointed

It’s a bigger apartment, but it needs some work. Tap was leaking benches have cracks in them. The bathtub needs some attention. It wasn’t left overly clean but I think that’s more the age of everything than the cleanliness.

Property is in a great location and is well appointed. If I were to say a negative, that would be the shower / spa bath didn’t drain as fast as the shower , leaving a pool of water which eventually subsided and the leak around the taped shower frame which I hadn’t noticed until it contacted my dry clothes

Great position, secure. No traffic noise. Shower over a deep spa bath could be a problem getting in and out for older person. Needs a bit of maintenance on shutters, doors. I like a room you can black out and that was a problem. A humming noise through the room I had.

Fantastic location, but the property is a bit tired; one of the blinds in the living room was broken, so at street level people could see in. However for us the main letdown was the room situation. You pay for beds, not rooms, and we were a bit confused when we got a message about extra bedding costs (even though we booked via Expedia for our party). It was quickly resolved and the communication was excellent. For a short stay this property does the trick, but longer stays may disappoint.

For the amount we paid we were really disappointed with the stay. The apartment is outdated, furniture is old,dirty and broken. Needs a really good clean all over. The ensuite shower is near un usable with the water turning cold every 30-40seconds, the shower still had sand in it from the people who stayed last. The crack on the sink area is just dangerous as 1/4 of the stone is completely broken. Communication was poor, we weren’t able to access the property until after 4pm. Wouldn’t stay again.

This has been the worst experience I have ever had in thirty years of regular travel. The property owner never provided access and I had to seek alternative accomodation. Last minute were also less than useless through out the process with no direct contact possible. I have put a stop on the funds via amex and expect a full refund
