2BR/ Sydney CBD/Views Hyde Park/Families & Groups

We actually loved the place! Positive: So easy to walk to everywhere we wanted to go Negative: Unfortunately there was a terrible smell coming from the laundry cupboard when opened. At times it could be smelled in the minor bathroom too. The coffee machine wasn’t working properly. The water was coming out inside the machine somehow so we turned off straight away.

Great location and clean apartment Positive: Location was great. The apartment was clean and had nice views. Negative: The bureaucracy was annoying to get to the apartment.There were too many texts from the owner.

I stayed for 30 minutes into a three day stay and when I realised I could not use my car left Negative: Keys placed in a lock box at the back of a post box below waist height. Needed to bend down on my knees on the pavement with a light on my phone to see the numbers correctly. The statements from the organisers of the rental were detailed. However, the suggestions for parking were inadequate and ultimately unworkable. Secure parking opposite close at 7pm which means using a car or rental vehicle for evening engagements is impossible. The suggested apps of Oscar and Parking Hound were not a solution.

Too noisy for a return booking Positive: Excellent location and decent facilities Negative: Very noisy – above fire station, so all nights disturbed by the announcements as fire engines left, sink in ensuite bathroom had a disgusting drain and no plug, shower in main bathroom only part worked, communication was variable could take 2 days or relatively immediate depending on I guess which member of staff was working at the management company. Real problem with baggage as there was nowhere to leave it pre-or post check in/out. Only one set of keys which was inconvenient when you've got a group of 4 or maybe more.
