Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Compact apartment — The one-bedroom layout is described as 'compact' by reviewers, which may feel tight for four guests, even though it sleeps that many.
  • No pets or smoking — The property enforces a strict no-pets and no-smoking policy, so travellers with animals or those expecting smoking-friendly spaces won't find it here.
  • Mixed overall score — With an overall rating of 7.6, the experience is generally positive but less uniformly glowing than some comparable central stays, so expectations should be set accordingly.

“A wonderful stay in a central spot. Spotlessly clean, and the facilities covered everything we needed. Walking to most attractions was easy, with a mall across the street and the train station nearby. Friendly staff made the experience even better.”

“Perfect location right across from St James Mall and close to Waverley Station. The owner replied quickly and gave clear instructions.”

7.6Verified guest

“The small flat had everything, including a washer-dryer, which was handy for a longer trip. It was clean and tidy, and dealing with the owner was straightforward. Best of all, the central position meant I could walk to all the main sights, with a mall over the road. The smart TV with Netflix and a well-equipped kitchen were great. Nothing to complain about.”
