8.6/10 Excellent! (850 reviews)
The carpets desperately need a shampoo. A few more drinking glasses would be useful. The microwave seems like a hazard with lots of exposed rust inside and there are no small sharp knives, just 3 really large serrated knives. Just could be better equipped.

9/10 Wonderful! (416 reviews)
Pros: Unit was lovely & spacious & the kitchen had everything we needed. The reading books were a good idea. The pool on the top floor of the parking building had great views of the city & the lady on reception was friendly & helpful. Cons: The beds were only made up with sheets. When we pulled the doona out of the cupboard in the main room it was dirty. The 2nd room had been split into 2 beds but there was only 1 Q size doona in the cupboard so we had no blanket for the 2nd bed. It was handy having secure parking but getting to and from the car park in the neighbouring building was somewhat tedious - not suitable for anyone with mobility issues. Overall we would recommend The Dalgety Apartments but hope they provide clean doonas/blankets for the next guests.
