Portofino 4 Hastings Street 59

Location, view, decor, deck, kitchen, excellent all round.

Not enough water and wine glasses, and tea cups. Only 4 units of tableware when 4 are staying is too low too. Rubbish collection at 3am a little annoying too.

Location was great. Right in the centre of the busy area, which we wanted

Complex is tired and due for a revamp. However, we were told this and was as expected.

The location is amazing!! Central to everything, and best of all was the balcony overlooking the pool and out onto the beach. This was perfect for us with a baby that required my partner or I to be back at the apartment a lot while the other entertained our other child at the beach or pool. The convenience of being able to quickly duck down for a swim and get back to the room at short notice was a game changer for us. The apartment itself was spacious, well set out and had everything we needed. We were also very grateful to have parking on Hastings St.

No lift and only stairs made things difficult at times, particularly with a pram. But we knew what we were in for when booking and worked a way around it. Stairs down to the street and garage are not undercover, so very slippery when wet. Our son slipped down 7/8 steps one wet afternoon. The place was clean but there were quite a few cockroaches.

Location was fantastic

The furniture was uncomfortable and cheap.
