Pros:

Check in for this property was lengthy with payment facilities not working. Parking was very tight. The room was difficult to access and not advertised to be on level one. The main slider door was damaged and unable to be locked. The TV didn't work, and the room was very old with noticeable maintenance required. Bedding was sparce and the covers stained. Extra blankets were very old and pilled. It felt like ones was staying in a teenage boys room. The bathroom was old and towels thin. Roosters nearby obviously out of the properties control

Pleasant
Pros:

Spacious lovely two bedroom, open plan
Host was very lovely and accommodating
Got us a portacot for our baby but we didnt end up using it as baby slept in bed instead

Cons:

Single bed in room was broken and sunk down in one end (was on blocks and the bed came off them that's how we found out about it)
Neighbor who was staying next to us parked nearly outside of our garage and I nearly took the fence out trying to get my car out (no fault of the host)

It’s a good price for the size of apartment etc but hopefully it can get a revamp, i understand times are tough though a
Pros:

Great that it’s walking distance too the beach, decent size apartment, little terrace space was nice too, it has great potential just really needs serious maintenance and a good clean

Cons:

Couldn’t lock doors, someone I was staying with had to get a screw driver and fix something just to be able to get one too atleast lock, door handles falling off, shower head falling off, taps lose, wooden floor needed vacuuming and mopping, things felt dingy and dirty, etc
