The Alta Apartments by Urban Rest

Stayed for 1 week ,Perfect location, spacious appartment we were 2 so used the spare room as a walk in closest 😀 fairly clean. Enough towels and shower supplies that didn't required us to use our own.

The wash machine was broken stop midway through, but the staff were understanding and offerred to pay for our lunadry to be washed in the next door lunadry shop. However we didn't use it since we already kinda washed the clothes, but needed to finished them by hand, the carpet could use a deep clean as it smelled once you walk into the appartment. All the couch cushions need a wash as they were stained, main bedroom doesn't have a duvet cover and was tucked in btween 2 sheets which wasn't really comfortable. Toaster was broken as well.

Location and layout

Entry door lock was difficult to use. 2nd bed room exterior door would not open and balcony was flooded

There’s so much room here! It has everything you need and so much space it felt like I had a real apartment to myself and friends!

Honestly nothing it had everything needed, even blackout blinds!

Alta Apartments is a modern, well-located block near the heart of the Sydney CBD. Location-wise, it’s excellent; easy to get around yet, off the main drag … so quiet too. The property was a clean, functional two-bed, two bathroom apartment. It was exactly the sort of apartment I needed for my stay.

There was a musty smell in the hall of the apartment. It wasn’t over-powering, but it was lingering there. On the whole, the property ticked all the boxes. I am not sure I would book a property manager bt Urban Rest again. I travel to Sydney every year (as do members of my company, which are lead) and they made me feel like I was merely there to squeeze every last drop of revenue out of. I booked the property for 14 days … for a proper wedge of money. I am not expecting a bottle of wine to be waiting for me to on arrival (although, sometimes some Property managers do leave welcome gifts like that.). However, I don’t think it’s unreasonable, after a 24 hour flight from the other side of the planet, to expect there to be a place to leave one’s luggage, before the check in at midday. I arrived on a flight at 7.55 am, shattered from travel. I was informed “There is no place to leave your luggage. Either go to one of [6 luggage storage places across the Sydney] … or you can pay us an additional $140 and we will let you into the property a few hours early.” Having already paid close to $6k for the property, I felt that every last drop of revenue was being squeezed out of me. No disrespect to the property owner (whomever it is) but I was left really underwhelmed and unimpressed by the Sydney Urban Rest team.
