Modern Apartment in Darling Harbour

The Good. The Bad. The Ugly. The Good: new apartment in convenient location. The Bad: apartment was very poorly cleaned upon our arrival. Kitchen was woefully ill-stocked. Owner believes a single rusted out pot, no oven mitts or anything to take hot dishes out of the oven, burnt food crusted roasting pan, etc are what one should expect from a luxury rental. The Ugly: our rental contact’s first response when we raised these and other issues was “we’ll try to do better next time.” A few days later he literally walked in to the apartment unannounced unlocking the door himself. No knocking. No doorbell ringing. While not the owner’s fault, I should add thay we were woken up three times on two different nights in the middle of the night was what turned out to be a false alarm. The entire building was evacuated each time. Bottom Line: there are so many other properties to rent in Sydney. Avoid this one like the plague. Too bad. The apartment itself and location are nice. Just unbelievably poorly managed.

This property misrepresented what it offered. It claimed to have two double sized convertible sofas and it only had one single sizes one that was merely an uncomfortable day bed. If you rent this place plan on only having a queen sized bed. Furthermore, the property refused refund the payment despite my complaining about the nature of the misrepresentation.
