Grimshaw House

Too much to cover - everything else was to dislike. Bathroom was dangerous - shower never had a door so water was everywhere all over the floor. TV very hard to work - everything old and nothing homely about the place. Oven - filthy!!! hot plates rusty!!!! No extra blankets, towels (all had to be put on the floor to avoid slipping with so much water everywhere.)

Not clean - ventilation was dirty and dead cockroaches under bed.
Couldn’t open windows because mosquitoes would come in.
Toaster smoked up the apartment.
Booking said there were 3 beds - arrived with only two in the same room, had to request staff to move beds and provide another bed: staff admitted that the advertisement on booking isn’t accurate and that the property has a lot of complaints.
Washing machine isn’t in the apartment, located outside and is coin operated ($4 a load).
Could hear the people staying upstairs and party was going on in a different apartment located on the property.
Could see people through the bathroom windows - uncomfortable knowing people can see in.

It felt like It was different from the photos posted, a bit more old and basic, and mosquitoes were a big issue.Kids got bitten everywhere, which was a major drawback and made our stay uncomfortable

Need blinds for the bathroom.
There was a large dead cockroach on the windowsill when we arrived - although we didn’t see any more it was off putting.

The property was riddled with flies, the host left a crawling insect killer spray which had just enough left to kill most so good luck to the next guest. All of the kitchenware looked like unwanted stuff donated from their own home after finally getting around to a big clear out, all pots were old, scratched, and burnt. Every plate and mug was mismatched, and random quantities e.g., a single odd shaped bowl provided to accommodate 3 people, alongside a rusted cake tin. All cooking utensils were crusted with old food, pots oily - just a complete lack of care. There were blinds in the hallway and bedroom however the bathroom directly faced the bins and had no blinds over the floor to ceiling windows at all, the glass was frosted but anyone walking past would obviously see your silhouette on the toilet, in the shower etc as we could make out theirs - very uncomfortable. Bedroom sheets stained, sheets on the single bed actually had a wet raised stain that we didn’t get too close to. Walls were so thin it sounded like we were actually in the water pipes anytime a neighbours taps went on. Definitely wouldn’t return or recommend, it was cheap but not competitively.

My family stayed for 13 nights and enjoyed the comfort and privacy there.

Photos on Booking.com weren't specific to the apartment being advertised, so we weren't sure which photos were applicable to our stay when booking, and only found out upon arrival.

The furniture was in terrible condition, the sofas were extremely dirty and broken. The single bed frame was also broken, I had to shove it against the wall and hope it doesn't fall apart. Also the window AC unit didn't work either, it turned on but did not cool the room whatsoever.
The Aircon in the main bedroom was beyond disgusting!!! Heavily moulded and dusty, the aircon was barely working, we ended up not using it.

all the stay was good.

Not Applicable, I have no complaints. It is value for money, a brilliant Queensland property, Secure apartment, and a great location.

Sticky floor, rusty stove, dirty fridge. Old furniture. Cockroaches everyday and everywhere. Noisy neighbours and zero sound insulation.
