Toilet had not been cleaned properly. ##### Ian Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### John D. 20 Mar 2022 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Disappointed The location and view were brilliant, we were happy until it was time to have a spa, we filled it and got in but when we turned the jets on a huge amount of black gunk came out of the jets. It was sickening and we have taken photos. This of course ruined one part of our adventure and we were unable to have a spa. We paid for a room with a spa and am very disappointed about not being able to use it ##### John D. Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2022 ### 4/10 Poor #### Teresa O. 1 Dec 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Not happy Good position but that’s all it had going for it. Uncomfortable bed, dark, no where to sit and relax. The cost would have suggested a more spacious room. It was two bedroom but second bedroom was the kitchenette, dining area. ##### Teresa O. Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Kate W. 4 Feb 2020 Liked: Communication, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness #### Great position, right opposite the ocean This apartment is in a great position, located straight across from the ocean and playground. It is walking distance to all of the great shops. It has a balcony that is nice to sit on and look at the view. The outdoor table is tiny for 4 people to eat meals from, but is doable. The only downside is it is not very well cleaned - dirty sheets, dishes, cupboards, TV etc etc. ##### Kate W. ### 4/10 Poor #### Penny K., Melbourne 30 Dec 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Our stay Everting was fine apart from the following: 1-the drain in right in the middle of the bathroom, close to the toilet, spa, shower and basin was blocked and sewerage was coming out of the floor drain. But, we managed to unblock it with Mr. Muscle. It needs to get checked, please. 2-the bathroom had a strong smell of urine/sewerage. So, we had to leave the fan on almost most of the time when we were awake. 3- it was very difficult to clean the bathroom floor, as the floor is not angled to the drain. It is a hard job to keep the floor clean and dry. Perhaps a big squeegee might help. 4-the vacuum cleaner head is not working or the bag is full or both. 5-the bunk bed rail was wobbly and snapped and my child almost fell off the top bunk bed, which could hurt her permanently and cause legal ramifications for stayz. That’s absolutely unsafe and we are not happy with what happened. A part from the above issues, it was a nice stay. Regards ##### Penny K.
