    The excessive increased amount of emails I recieved prior to staying. Then also the fact the company said they'd take a percentage security deposit 2 weeks prior to arrival (I do expect something like this). I had also ticked the box which said yes too paying the full amount on arrival, they then took the full amount at the 2 weeks prior, then on arrival held another half which I wasn't expecting. So then left wondering why another large amount was charged to my card. Totally reasonable request to please take rubbish out to the bins, however bins were not labeled outside on which ones belonged to the unit I was residing in, so just placed recycling in the correct coloured bin. Then recieved another email with a neighbour's complaint of using their bins. Thought the unit was actually lovely, modern and clean. Just things around the stay lacked concise communication.

    Clean, tidy and modern property, comfortable beds. Fabulous shower presurre, perfect.

    One broken light in bedroom, second bedroom had no mirror, blinds a little dated

    Well equipped, just a 20 minute flat walk to the city centre, off-road parking, plenty of eateries near by, good access to major routes and Merivale area

    Was smaller than what we thought! Rooms were way too light in the morning could do with better window cover!

    Great location for walking distance to Halley Park for our concert! Close to town,had everything we needed and very comfortable beds.

    Outlook wasn't good, how was it a building site very close to this building. Luckily the builders weren't on site while we stayed there or it would have been very noisy. Wardrobe had large items being stored in there so hanging clothes was challenging. No Suitcase stands. No shelves in bathroom at all.

    Handy to Hadleigh Park and Restaurants etc.

    Very little not to like. Car parking space was off the road but difficult to turn around Hair dryer - meh! This is just nit picking though!

    Well appointed apartment with excellent shower and even a washer/dryer. Quiet location (although son said his room was more noisy on the road side) Excellent Wifi - Husband was able to dial in to a conference call for work with no problems

    very tight small bathroom, the place was quiet dusty when we arrived and a couple of cups in pantry were already used/dirty when we went to use them. Considering we had to pay $120 cleaning fee for our stayed i expected the place to be spotless.

    Good location, easy access with lock box etc.

    Loud construction noise next door - unavoidable and short term I imagine Despite using heat pump apartment seemed to not retain warmth. Very cold though outside! Aging hot water bottle Heavy rain meant that staircase was treacherous

    I received the same information multiple times (12 emails/texts all up) yet the team never addressed my request for early check in. After the money had been paid, they were claiming I hadn’t paid even though my bank showed the payment completed. Also, they won’t give you access details until you sign an extensive contract which includes agreeing to a $500 bond. The apartment is small and it looks different from the photos. There were no rubbish bins in the unit (not idea for women who want hygiene related privacy) instead you get one compostable bag for trash and one paper bag for recycle; I found this really gross. The bedrooms are very hot and we had to sleep with our doors open and it was still too warm to sleep. Again no privacy whatsoever. You’re not meant to open the windows or leave the heat pump on overnight (read the contract). This place wants your money but they don’t want you.

    It was easy to find.

    the cleanliness. nail clippings under bedside vanity in second room, food in dishwasher, too few blankets on bed, no electric blankets, mould on cubed windows in spare room, blinds bent and dirty, and crumbs all over top of fridge.
