The worst accommodation I have ever stayed at.
Pros:

The location was a quick walk to the beach, coffee shop and restaurants.

Cons:

The apartment was incredibly dirty. The kitchen had cockroaches and supplies that looked like they came from the op shop. The oven didn't work and looks like it has never been cleaned. There was nowhere to put the rubbish. There was no housekeeping for a 6 day stay. Insufficient cleaning supplies. The 2nd bedroom's second bed was pushed up against the wardrobe and in the way of the door - resulting in the door not being able to close for privacy. The blinds were broken, also resulting in a lack of privacy to the party goers on the street. The balcony door handle was broken and couldn't be locked. The bathrooms had mould all over the floor. The shower floor was dirty (gross). The cheap cloth drawers in the wardrobe were dirty with hair. The lounge coaches were old, uncomfortable and filthy. The hallway smoke alarm was missing.
