Sydney

This is the worse acconodation we have ever booked. We have used booking.com lots but this apartment was not worth the money we paid for it. The place was old, very smelly, carpets stained, beds were smelly as well. Portable A/C unit was sticking out of the bedroom window duck tape was left so if it needed repaired we would have to repair it ourselves. We could not stay in the apartment had to find a hotel. Did not get any money back. Feels like a hostel. Would not recommend this to anyone.

very smelly apartment not fit for the price asked

Do not book this place its repulsive. I am no reviewer or complainer but this place is a bad time coming. Dusty, beds smell like the aftershave of previous guests ( not been cleaned) carpets are covered with other pieces of cut off carpet to hide dirty stains. If you are 17 and headed for a schoolies book right up but if you are headed for anything else DO NOT BOOK HERE. The promotional photos look epic, comfy, clean, homely but in reality its nothing like that. We booked for 4 nights and had to leave at 7 am the following morning as we could'nt bare to be there any longer. once you close your eyes at bed time the pizza shop down stairs extractor fan seems to get loader and loader to the point you cant hear anything else... honest its that bad. once I complained we were offered a cleaner to come round to help. A cleaner would need a whole day or two to clean everything from the dusty plants and skirting boards to the filthy stair way and to top this the bathroom door does'nt lock. DO NOT BOOK THIS PROPERTY. After complaining through BOOKING.COM with no refund or any form of compensation we are left out of pocket for alternative accomodation. DO NOT BOOK THIS PLACE.

dirty dirty dirty. $1200 for 4 nights is repulsive. I am not a reviewer or complainer but this place is disgusting.

Excellent stay at this clean, tidy and comfortable apartment.
The manager was always available to speak with, offered extension of stay and give advice about the area.

I would highly recommend this unit to anyone looking for a central location or near the hospital like myself.

Thank you for having me. I would defiantly stay again. 

Perfect apartment for family or couple 

This place is situated on a busy road, a thin wall or set of windows separating any chosen room (which are dank and dusty and cheaply furnished) and the nightclub Oxford Circus ( which is open 7 days 9pm-3am). The walls were vibrating with the sounds of deep base and trance music all night causing a horrible night for myself and my bridal party who booked this place for a girls weekend to find a wedding dress for myself.
One of the beds was broken (slats literally snapped in the middle), bathroom had poor facilities( open half empty bottle of body was probably left by the last poor soul who booked this place) and sponges and cleaning equipment provided in the kitchen filthy with hair and mould. 
When booking; nothing about noise was explained to us- even though we met the owner in person as she let us in who stated prior in a confirmation email that is was "young people friendly" and "accessible to the party scene of oxford street" or some alluding quotes along those lines. Payment was also needed upfront with a strict "no refund" policy- NOW WE KNOW WHY! 
After a tiny pocket of sleep between 3-6am ( before loud music, traffic and the morning commuters woke us again) we contacted the owner to let her know we couldn't stay. 
We were met with a hostile, rude and defensive response so much that we had to terminate the conversation with her on the phone  and explain we were leaving regardless via text message. 
Don't book unless u don't want to sleep..EVER...or just don't book at all! 

Almost ruined our girls weekend 

I really can't improve much on Melbourneguy's review from July 16 - like him, I can take old but draw the line at grotty.  However, I have to say the level of cleanliness seems to have gone several notches compared to earlier reviews.  Although I still washed every item I used before using it.   I must say the requirement to empty the bin before leaving had me a trifle astonished too as it is not a quick and easy process involving as it does a walk down Oxford St (with your rubbish in hand) to the adjacent side street and then down it  and along the back lane to the bins.  That alone is enough to put me off ever staying here again.

The weather conditions in Sydney were mild during our stay so we were comfortable enough.  However, being on Oxford St, the place is noisy and the extractor fan from the pizza place downstairs runs up the rear wall so even the back bedroom is not spared from noise.  My advice - bring earplugs.  I did, and actually slept quite well wearing mine.

The stairs to get into the apartment are quite precipitous and will not suit anyone with impaired mobility.  The location is handy to St Vincent's Hospital and to the city.  I would say forget Oxford St and try the eateries down Victoria St if you're dining out.
