This apartment is spotless, very large with 2 bedrooms and 2 separate bathrooms & a walk out balcony with table and chairs. It was well maintained, almost everything was provided, the kitchen well stocked with utensils etc and the washing machine and dryer very handy and easy to use. The host was lovely and very welcoming. If you chose, there was the option of a lock up garage and we did choose this. The location is very private, very quiet and not too far to walk to cross the river and catch the ferry or a bit further to the trains. It was a very pleasant walk into Parramatta or a short drive if you chose. Not too far from the Sydney Markets and Olympic Park. Walking through Parramatta, there were restaurants of every choice and walking along the river was quite enjoyable, there was a very nice lookout if you were happy to climb the steps (worth the view if you do). In the entrance of the apartments, it was well stocked with maps and things to do, I thought this was a very thoughtful addition, so thank you to the hosts.

I was surprised that toiletries were not provided, it is possibly the only place I have stayed that doesn't. There are no lifts if you have walking difficulties. When we arrived, the apartment was like ice and it took quite a while to warm up, but in the end it did and it was toasty warm inside. The tv has very tinny sound and it was very hard to hear at times. probably needs an upgrade. These were minor issues and overall, had minimal effect on our stay.

The attention by Margre was exceptional. We stayed in a 2 bedroom unit on the first floor above the garages, which was exceptionally clean and had obviously been refurbished within the last few years - modern kitchen with stone benchtops, 2 modernised bathrooms, laundry with washing machine and dryer. Easy on site parking for our care with loaded roof rack. We were aware of the 4 hr cycle on aircon but worked around this as it was very cold when we stayed. We needed to stay an extra night and thankfully Linda was able to arrange this for us.

Nothing major, some niggly things, like no exhaust fans in bathrooms, old hard mattress in main bedroom, checking in paperwork.

This was a handy little unit located within a 10 minute walk of Church St restaurant precinct. It was easy to find and is nestled in a quiet back street in Parramatta. Car parking was conveniently available on site, with plenty of parking also available on the street (noting that we visited on a weekend when the school across the road wasn't open). The unit was clean and tidy, and had all the things we needed for a comfortable stay. It has a massive north facing balcony which is sundrenched on a clear winters day. If we had to find a negative - the bed wasn't overly comfortable (a little on the firm side for us). Having said that, it wouldn't top me from staying again :-)

As mentioned - the beds weren't as comfy as we'd have liked.

Apartment was perfect for us, clean, tidy and had all the amenities. Bed and lounge was comfy. Location was everything (we attended a concert at Accor stadium) so bus (525) stop was a 5min stroll from the flat, or a 15min walk to Parramatta station if you prefer a train ride (right next to a Westfield mall - also a plus). There is also a ferry stop close by, great to take for a little day trip - check timetable for this. Lastly, but certainly not least, our host Magre was the best, and is a valuable asset to Parkside Apartments. She has a wealth of knowledge of the area and gave us a ton of info regarding public transportation, great places to eat and favourite coffee spots. We would certainly stay again.

For my family and I, everything was great. I think just a precaution. There is no lift, we were at the top 3rd level, so 5 flights of stairs. We were absolutely fine with it, but I guess for those who might find the climb challenging and/or need wheelchair facilities, this won't be for you.

The property manager was excellent, very friendly, explained everything and very helpful in every way. The area was perfect for everything we needed. The apartment was maticulously clean.

It is only a minor thing but the TV remote was broken and didn't work. It was replaced the next day with another old remote that was also cracked but it did the job. Not the manager's fault!

Rooms were clean and tidy Had both kitchen and laundry facilities 2 bathrooms - 1 ensuite and a main bathroom with shower and bath Great balcony Central location in Parramatta Car parking available on site

Not that I didn't like them but the bathrooms could probably do with a renovation in the future. In saying that they were still perfectly functional other than that there was nothing that I could pinpoint as a dislike

We absolutely loved our stay here. First of all, we really liked Parramatta. It is a city with its own interesting history and issues, and the ferry into Sydney was charming. We enjoyed being in a place where we could hear all the unfamiliar bird calls (at all hours), and smell the eucalyptus trees. The apartment itself was very comfortable and a welcome resting place after a long flight.

I liked this stay a lot so this is a hard question to answer. I was unprepared for the mosquitos, but after the first evening learned my lesson and kept the doors closed. The city sprays for bugs once a week, it seems, and the smell bothered me a bit but not much. These were very minor details that did not detract from the value of our stay. I would go back in a moment if I could!

Close to Parramata ferry Spacious kitchen dining n living area Close to Parramatta centre

Reverse cycle unit in the balcony discharges condensation just outside the sliding door on route to the plumbing outlet. The door mat obstructs the discharge creating a pool. This could be slippery and risking a potential fall. The bath rooms do not have exhaust fans. Windows can be opened but lack privacy in full view from neighbouring units.

It had so much space for our family of 4 two bathrooms, full kitchen and laundry. It was in a very quite neighbourhood. It was very well kept and clean. We will definitely be staying again.

The only thing we would say is the dryer is due for an update.

It was great for our family for the weekend. Had everything we needed and much more! Was nice and quiet too.

The bed was very hard in the main bedroom and very uncomfortable but can’t complain with everything else we could deal with a hard bed for a few days.
