Prized Paddington Apartment at its best!

Place was very nice, great location. However you will get your steps in getting to and from supermarket and bus stop.

Property was as described and communication with manager was prompt, complete and helpful. Apartment was well appointed, quiet, good AC and appliances, comfortable bed, nicely furnished.. Only challenge related to check in because you have to pick up the key from a location about 3 mi away from the property, which was a little challenging for an international traveler carrying luggage without having a car. However, that was only a brief inconvenience, overshadowed by the quality of the experience overall.

Apartment was well situated and spacious . Very clean and well equipped. Only problem was check in - having to go to Bondi for keys, which were not labelled so had to phone emergency help line to find out which ones to take. Cost us an extra $35 in taxi fares to get the keys

This apartment was super clean, stylishly presented and a great size for a couple. The instructions and information we were given prior to our arrival was really detailed and clear. We were there in extreme heat, so we were incredibly grateful for the two A/C units in the apartment. The kitchen was really well appointed with basic provisions and cooking utensils and we appreciated the welcome touches. It's walking proximity to Paddington shops and public transport is fabulous. The only downside is the key pick-up process in Bondi. We arrived into Sydney in peak hour traffic and essentially drove past the apartment to Bondi in heavy traffic both ways. It added almost an hour to our journey. It would be fabulous if there was somewhere closer to obtain the keys :) Would highly recommend a stay here!

I don't like to submit a review with all negative comments, so I'll start with the positive about this apartment: it was a good sized space to relax in after a long, busy day, and the he ease of walking to restaurants and the bus were great. Now for the issues we had: first and foremost was getting the keys on arrival. In my first emails with the management company I was told there was a lockbox at the apartment, only to be told in subsequent emails that we had to pick them up in BONDI. This is unacceptable, especially for people arriving late and having to taxi to an area a few miles away. Not only was it inconvenient, it was costly. No where in the original listing does it even mention about the keys. Only after I had booked, and it is was not refundable,was I told about this. We would have been happy to pay someone to meet us at the apartment rather than have to go and get the keys. After this fiasco, all the other are really just listing misrepresentations : there was 1 extra roll of toilet paper (not enough for a weeks stay for 2ppl), no paper towels, no beach chairs anywhere, and the 'gym' is a tiny, dingy room in the basement with old equipment. Lastly, this apartment is noisy, even with all the windows shut. It is facing a busy road that has traffic at all hours. We never sat outside as we wouldn't be able to relax. This apartment is in lovely Paddington, with amazing Victorian terraced homes on quiet streets, but this isn't one of them.
