La Loft Apartments Parkside

My mother & I enjoyed the apartment's open planned, and bright living/kitchen areas. The private balcony was nice as well. (Great indoor/outdoor flow). The beds were reasonably comfortable, and everything was clean and tidy. Great location; not too close to busy road, and walks and shops nearby. Nice afternoon sun in the lounge area late afternoon. Nice wooden floors; warmer than cold tiles. Spacious main bedroom. (There are a flight of steps outside, to this apartment). Has air conditioning/heat pump. What we didn't like was the possum that woke us up most nights. Two down lights were loose after the possum scampered around in the ceiling. After contacting La Loft, a couple of days later, there was a ladder into an outside manhole, but the possum remained. By day 7, on the early morning of our departure, we saw the possum jump from the tree, on to the roof, and scamper along and into the ceiling! Also the bathroom basin was blocked and wouldn't drain quick enough. There was also a slight leak in the fridge, which dripped water onto the lower shelves occasionally. No wardrobe in one of the bedrooms, so the clothes airer was a good idea in which I hung clothes from hangers on it. Overall, an enjoyable stay, and we would stay again, if the slight problems were resolved. Great having free wifi there!
