Overall, a pleasing trip, with just a few minor annoyances.
☺ The bed was amazing. So comfy. The couch was comfy too. The shower was a nice size. The location was pretty convenient, close to public transport, local shops and a few pubs.
☹ We ran out of hot water one day, and were conservative with water the rest of the trip. i.e. doing dishes using boiled cold water.
The water mixing was also weird. Seemed either way too hot or way too cold, which may have contributed to, or been the caused by, the seeming faulty hot water system.
The shower also needs a door or curtain. Water would splash out of the shower so much, drenching the foot towel. And splashing beyond that and up the door.
The deck had no way to lock it, smelt rotting, and felt slimy.
When we entered, the place smelled overwhelming like wet dog, which I suppose is to expected from pet friendly accom.
A heads-up of the construction next door would have been nice too.
Also, some basic cookware, like an oven tray, and some salt and pepper would not have gone amiss.
Great location and good value.
☺ Location was central to all the places we needed to visit.
Great to be able to have the dog with us.
☹ It was really hard to get towels etc dry as it is a very humid unit and doesn't get direct sun.
Had to use the dryer a lot to dry the towels each day.
H.
convenient, generally clean, but worn in areas that could easily be freshened up.
☺ Overall cleanliness good, generally good kitchen facilities, comfortable heating, excellent laundry in a cupboard.
Comfortable bed.
Good free parking, handy to supermarkets and buses.
☹ I stayed for 14 days and found the crockery, kitchen implements limited and the non stick saucepans past their use by date- very scratched.
Two power points only in the kitchen corner which was inconvenient. However there was a small coffee machine , a good sized fridge freezer, microwave and the electric stove top worked well. I didn't use the oven.
The bathroom was clean, but no towel rail, hole in the wall, water damaged doors were not appealing.
The waterflow in the shower was difficult to manage, although there was enough hot water.
My sheets and towels smelt musty, and the white towels were quite discoloured, so I washed and dried them myself, but that wasn't as welcoming as I might have hoped.
Settee was stained.
Overall just a shortage of maintenance/attention to detail to match the good level of cleanliness.
I selected the property because it was close to my family.
Pleasantly surprised by the accommodation in an excellent location.
☺ Size of the apartment and facilities were great, I was pleasantly surprised.
☹ The fact that I was not able to cancel my booking and they were not able to cater for my roll-away request for my 11yo daughter.

Perfectly good
☺ For me the location was perfect. Quiet, felt safe. Good wifi, close to shops. Kitchen well fitted out. Coffee machine -> big plus!!
☹ 8 day stay and only 2 towels, change of towels every couple of days would of been appreciated. I could of washed them myself, but washing only 2 towels in a machine seemed a little wasteful.
What a great self contained unit I stayed in for a week here in Mayfield. Easy check-in, quiet and cosy, and pet friendly for my besty McGee cat whom I take everywhere with me! I'd stay here again in a heartbeat, great value for money and location was fantastic, around the corner from Coles.
