Convenient and compact
We stayed in this cute apartment for 7 nights and were very comfortable. It's up a couple of flights of stairs which was a little difficult as we had heavy suitcases but no big deal. The queen bed was comfortable - we didn't really use the other room at all except to store our luggage although the apartment would have been VERY squeezy if the other bedroom had been occupied with three people. Only one bathroom but it had plenty of hot water for showers (didn't use the tub), but the people in the apartment next to the bathroom sat on their balcony and smoked so all the smoke blew into the bathroom - we had to keep the window closed which wasn't great for the steam buildup from the shower! The lounge room is small but the sofas cosy. The TV worked fine for the free to air channels. The balcony is a good size and nice to sit out and watch the world go by and look at the view (as well as for drying laundry if you don't want to use the dryer!). The kitchen is pretty small and has a mishmash assortment of containers and pots - fine for really basic cooking but you won't be doing anything fancy here. The weirdest thing is the bench-table arrangement in the kitchen. it is ridiculous and takes up way. too much space for its use. An oval or round table with chairs would work much better and not take up so much space. the apartment was clean and mostly quiet although some people insist on having their tv or radio up so loudly that everyone has to listen - fortunately this didn't happen too late. I guess that's the way it is in an apartment block. Also we had to really search to find the laundry - the owner/agent should really provide some instructions as to the laundry's location for the tenant. Overall it was good value. The proximity to Nelson Bay is a real plus.
