Wonderful
Traveller Type:
  : Great location, well looked after apartment
  : Shower was a bit tempromental. Living room was a bit cozy for 5.

Very Poor
Traveller Type:
  : The property was good
  : However I had a nightmare with the people who manage it. They failed to tell me that their systems had been compromised, resulting in me having to cancel my credit card, thankfully my bank was diligent and saved me from being subject to financial fraud. They also gave me incorrect information about their deposit waver insurance, resulting in me having to pay it twice. To cap it all the day before I was due to arrive at the accommodation, they insisted I produced evidence I had paid, despite the payment being taken from my bank days earlier. Whilst I was trying to sort this all out, the company wouldnt answer their phones, wouldnt follow things up as they promised, and failed to respond to messages and emails. So if you are looking for a stress free stay dont book this accommodation.

  : Absolutely terrible for the price paid. Student accommodation at best. The hall way on entry is dusty and dirty with a boarded up door downstairs that looks like it's been broken into. The view from the living room window looks out to the yard which is filled with debris and rubbish. The banging from upstairs from people just walking about was really noisy and it took forever for my 3 year old daughter to get to sleep. There was also lots of noise from neighbours coming in and shouting in the stairwell. The noise from the road outside is also loud. The shower was appalling and ran either scalding hot or absolutely freezing. The water pressure was terrible too. The toaster in the kitchen was broken as was the radiator in the main bedroom. Host only provided 3 coffee pods for 3 days for what was meant to be 4 people and one of those was split so didn't work. Considering it's meant to host up to 6 people, it is tiny and the living room can fit 3 on the couch. We were meant to be staying here with my parents but they ended up booking a hotel instead as they refused to stay. Upon booking I was not made aware that there would be a compulsory damage waiver fee payable of AU$50 to confirm the booking which is absolutely misleading as it is a hidden charge. I will never stay with Host and Stay again and will also be looking into the legality of the $50 fee.

  : Good location in a peaceful area.
  : Amount of steep stairs to the apartment could be a major issue for anyone with walking or breathing difficulties.

  : Flat B. Flat was pleasantly decorated and well equipped however the shower was very slow and bed in main bedroom was wobbly and squeaky. Sofa wasn't very comfy. Noise from busy road until about 2am.

  : The apartment was lovely decorated and was very clean. Beds were comfy. I think it was very good bc value for money.
  : I didnt realise how many flights of stairs they were to get to our apartment so on that note I would make sure next time we were on a lower floor. Also I had asked from the moment I had booked the apartment to check in earlier / check out later, I was told to keep asking and I wouldnt be told until the day before. I arrived earlier than check in and asked to collect parking permit which i was then allowed to check into the apartment early which was great. However on departure I was told to keep asking to then be told this wasnt able. I even asked for just an hour later check out due to going to celebrate my birthday.

  : The location was good and the flat was comfy.
  : I was given the wrong door code so couldnt get in, and was stood on the step for quite some time looking like I was trying to break in when Id just been using the code Id been given. The flat wasnt super clean, and the beds in particular were covered in hairs when we stripped the sheets before we left. There also wasnt enough warning before I booked about the 4 storey climb to the flat and the fact the stairs are very steep and narrow. Im 5 months pregnant so it was a struggle with a suitcase that I could have done without if I had known.

  : A little confusion as there was a key safe which I was putting the code into for the main door. Above was an intercom with numbers which is what you put the code in and not the key safe. Would of been helpful to point this out
