  : Location close tom CBD good, facilities inside unit good. Outside not so good.
  : The small balcony was quite dirty - leaves, cobwebs. dirt, dust, flaking paint. Hopefully our cleaning fee will be used to clean it for other people staying there. The website quite clearly stated "Free parking". We were told that it would not be possible to park in the space provided for "23" because it was too difficult to get in to the space. Because of the threat of a storm we did not want to risk damage to our 4WD vehicle so we parked in the space allocated to "23". Not really difficult getting in but more difficult getting out - but we managed. In our many years of travelling we have been nowhere where "Free Parking" did not mean easy safe parking on the premises.

  : Great location, very close to Glebe and Balmain. Great pubs and restaurants nearby. Unit itself is small but has everything you need. There is a bit of a damp smell though. The other reviews I have read give an accurate description of the place
  : Advertised as Free parking available onsite. On the day of my arrival I received a text message saying that the car space is "VERY small" and that "we do not recommend any cars park there as they can be easily damaged". On arrival I was shown the car space and it was occupied by a motorbike anyway. You will be able to get small - medium sized cars down there, the hardest part is getting back out. Not worth the effort. The parking situation needs to be honestly advertised, I booked this place in part because of the free onsite parking and I was not able to use it.

  : The bed was reasonably comfortable. The apartment was fairly well fitted out. The location was excellent being very near the Light Rail (Rochelle Bay) and the Tramsheds only a short walk away. The apartment has been recently refurbished and looks great. We had trouble with the microwave oven but the owners were very responsive and replaced it within a day - very impressed.
  : We could not use the undercover secure parking as it is very difficult to get into unless you have a Toyota Yaris or smaller. A shelf under the mirror in the bathroom would be useful - somewhere to put the toiletries and have them easily accessible. Not a lot of cooking has been undertaken as we noticed two of the saucepans were a little bit rusty inside - steel wool would possibly fix them. A tea towel would also have been useful. The rug in the living area had a big wrinkle - I almost tripped over it. I did try every day to straighten the wrinkle but it kept curling up. The Wireless router sat on the floor - a small cabinet would be useful to keep little hands away.

  : Great location, comfortable bed
  : Apartment was filthy. Owners not getting value for the high cleaning charge imposed. Balcony could not be enjoyed as it had not been cleaned for years - cobwebs and leaves everywhere. Toilet brown - had to bleach it. Door tracks to balcony caked with dirt. Great to have ironing board but broken cover meant using a towel was only solution. Car space way too small and difficult to negotiate - much easier to park on street. Needs shelf in bathroom and table or bench in living area for tv cables and modem etc - they were just lying on the floor. Kettle needs replacing - spout broken.

  : There were builders at the property the whole time we were there. They were putting a new roof on. NOBODY told us about this before we arrived nor upon arrival. The noise was unbearable throughout the whole stay, with large industrial drills going from 6.30 - 7.00 am all day. It was utterly impossible to stay in the property during the day. Also there were warning signs all around the building saying "DANGEROUS HAZARD OF ASBESTOS DUST AS THE OLD ROOF IS BEING REMOVED'. Our balcony was covered in dust so we had to keep the doors closed all the time. Also the builders crane on the roof was located over our balcony. They lifted and lowered stuff all day directly past our balcony, shouting instructions from the ground to the roof in very colourful builders language again all day long every day. This stay was awful. We need to know where we go next with this complaint.
