The property is located on Sussex Street just 300 metres off the main stretch, so you can walk to everything you will need during your stay. There is also a large reserve just 250 metres away. Although this end of Sussex street is relatively quiet, Glenelg can get quite busy at certain times, particularly during the summer months. So there can be some noise at times from pedestrians walking back at night or when events have been on in the surrounding areas. A small trade off for staying in the thick of it, but generally speaking, it's cosy and quiet the majority of the time. bathrooms are accessed by stairs only. Alternatively there is an exterior bathroom on the ground level, but is accessible only by going outside. Heating is just a small electric plug in heater. Due to the shared access of the bathrooms and common areas, and also the close proximity of the bedrooms, this property is not suitable for small children or infants, or for any self isolation purposes. 1 bath towel per guest supplied. For extended stays over 30+ nights, mid-stay or fortnightly servicing is required for the upkeep of the property. We will notify you when this is due to occur. ******************************************************** For a secure stay, guests are required to complete our simple verification process.
