Russells Place Central 2 bedroom apt w Carpark

I should have heeded the other reviews about the somewhat troublesome check in. The day before check in I started receiving messages to upload my credit card again (for deposit?) which I had already done when paying in full. The site wouldn’t let me upload it so I tried a different card but no luck. I contacted Olivia who just kept repeating the same instructions. I was anxious that we wouldn’t be able to check in. Spent way too much time of my vacation messaging her back and forth so I could get this straightened out, which to her credit, she was able to fix something so I could upload the card. Told her I would be coming on after 5 pm. Got vague instructions about lockbox. Since she knew it would be after Darren when we arrived, it would have been nice if Olivia to tell us that there is a gate to the building so we would have to park then search around for the lockbox that holds the key fob for the gate. It should have been a lot more transparent. The parking spot is a little tricky to get into especially for those of us used to steering wheel on other side of the car. When we got unit the building we realized the hall light does not reliably go on. The place itself was clean but a little dated. The en suite bathroom, however, smells like sewer from the drain on the floor. Communication was always quick but not necessarily easy because the owner would just repeat the same information and not put herself in the position of someone new to the unit.

The apartment was in the ideal location for our holiday and was a perfect suit to our needs.

Perfect layout for two adult couples to share for a vacation. Instructions and communication was really good

An older building. Great location with lovely outlook. Ju while on the whole a great apartment. Needs some attention with up keep. Lights appear to have replaced and all old ones shoved in a cupboards or b. Broken vertical blinds pieces scattered all over the apartment. Gate remote did not work. We were advised to change battery ourselves and get reimbursed. Security door lock broken for most of the stay. Longe rug very dirty. Veranda needs a good clean. Stagnant water in back enclosure after the rains needed to be addressed. Owner was quick to respond to text. Very invasive booking process.

inside was clean and well presented front patio needs a good clean

Great location and lovely quiet apartment. The checking is a little clunky re carrying suitcases around but a great experience and service

Good well equipped & comfortable apartment but some aging blinds & garage could not be locked as remote did not work. Booking process is cumbersome and invasive.

The Apartment was roomy and comfortable overlooking parklands with both West Village and Southbank within easy walking distance..

stay was OK, booking process overly convoluted. No return of deposit even after a week
