Exquisite Family Home +Parking, Close to CBD

Location ok and the unit was ok

Cleaning needs attention

The accommodation was OK, accommodation was not the issue (see below for that). Basic, but had what was needed and comfortable enough. Though it is not a 2 bedroom apartment as advertised. It has an alcove in the entryway hall with a screen across it and a single bed behind. If you want any sort of privacy for the second guest, this isn't what you're looking for.

I had paid for and confirmed my stay through Booking.com. I had tickets for my son and I to a show so I needed the accommodation. And then I get an email asking me for a deposit around the same price as the accommodation cost. Yep, it's there in the fine print if you look through all the legal T&Cs, but who does that? Who doesn't expect that the price they pay upfront covers all the costs? Was told that unless I paid the deposit I would not be given the access codes etc. At that late stage I had no choice, I felt completely stitched up. Owner told me to take it up w Booking.com. At this moment I have still not received my deposit back, 5 days later. And the owner had the good grace to be rude to me about it.

The close proximity to everything we needed
