Generally a nice apartment and stay. Downsides -queen bed was SO firm it was difficult to sleep, there was a lot of “people” noise from a close apartment during the middle of the night on several nights and we had problems every time we left the apartment to lock the door which was SUPER annoying.

Just a couple of things that would not be difficult to put right namely: Blinds in bed room and lounge both needed attention Wall lights were inoperative in lounge and bedroom Tie cords on electric blanket were untied An information sheet for the microwave would have been useful.

The location was great. Quick walk to Jetty Road and the beach. The room was clean although could have done with some maintenance. Bathroom ceiling had paint peeling and some parts of wall had plaster missing. The first room we had, there were issues with the blind not working. After some back and forth with the representative on the phone, we were given another room.

The Carpet was filthy and the bed was totally uncomfortable. The Pillows are mostly 10 years old with no solid filling. I won’t stay there ever again

2/10 Poor

Can’t pay with cash, 8% extra in charges.
Although hotels.com quoted a fixed price that could be paid at the property, the property was not staffed, and payment could only be made by a link in an email, which I consider unsafe, and there was a surprise 4% card charge and another 4% service charge on top, despite there being no staff there. Payment in cash was not possible. The next door air conditioner was ridiculously loud, no sheets for the second bed, a dirty pillow in the cupboard and the bathroom window didn’t function and its fly screen was ill fitting. Great location, and the refurbished lounge and kitchen was fine, but I wouldn’t choose to use an unstaffed property.

10/10 Exceptional

This was so soo perfect for my friend and I just needing somewhere to lay our heads after a massive hens weekend in Glenelg. Such a convenient location, super affordable and the customer service was fantastic but guuuuys don’t book it if you’re wanting a luxury stay.. it was not filthy but it was definitely not clean, the curtains were about as useful as cellophane which was hard work for the post hens night sleep in we were hoping for. Also the towel rack in the bathroom broke simply from me trying to open the door but I'm betting someone from a previous booking had broken it and popped it back on like they hadn’t bent a hooker over after a steamy shower sesh and slipped on the innocent towel rack….ANYWAY overall I’d book again for fun times, just keep your expectations where they belong.
