Portugal1 review“Pros outweighed the cons but on this occasion we considered that some comments should be made.”Whilst being close to the tourist precinct is good it also comes with the associated noise. The kitchen has been upgraded at sometime in the life of the apartment and is acceptable but the bathroom, whilst reasonably designed, is not up to standard. The once white grout of the original terra-cotta coloured floor tiles and silicon and grout around at the base of the shower screen looked dirty. The toilet pan and cistern has been modernised but the toilet seat is ill fitting. Our stay was during an unusually cool week in Darwin which undoubtedly exacerbated the problem of having no temperature control in the apartment. Even with the air-conditioning turned off, it was like living in an igloo because very cold air seeps in from the common ducts and passageways. On the first night of our stay, residual cigarette odour was very obvious but fortunately, this dissipated over a couple of days after keeping the bedroom window and balcony door open for ventilation and warmth. The flat screen TV in the living area provides a good picture and Fox sporting channels are provided. However, the screen is an old model and no HDMI or USB ports are available. Whilst available on the small screen in the bedroom, there is no power point for apparatus like Chromecast. Summing things up, the promotional picture differs from the feeling of the apartment but it it served our needs. It was also good that the pool renovations were complete so as to give credibility to the headline of the web promotion. Lastly, after our 10 day stay, we were were refused a slightly later complimentary checkout, just in case there was a last minute booking. No problem if we wanted to pay for a couple of hours. Mmm!
The location is convenient being very close to the tourist precinct. Supermarkets, pubs, restaurants and the Esplanade parklands are nearby. The apartment is probably 25-30 years old and has been partially renovated over time. As a one bedroom dwelling, it is a reasonable size, functional and modestly equipped but it does feel dated. The king size bed is comfortable but limits access to the small built-in-wardrobe and the large settee provides comfort in the living area. The apartment enjoys swipe-card building security. There are pros and cons but it rates fairly for what we consider to be 3 to 3.5 star accommodation.
