The apartment, the village of Olinda, and the surroundings are beautiful. The food and service at the local restaurant was perfect 😍
Delbridge from Australia (8/10)
Thank God for the Photos and the clear instructions – Follow the instructions for sure!!
The property address in WRONG and that was confusing and confounding!!
The property address given was Unit 4, 2 Olinda Road – the building address is 240 Mt Dandenong Road and NOWHERE does it say 2 Olinda Road.
There is NO UNIT 4!!! There is Unit A1 – and the key fitted and the photos matched!Sharpe from Australia (7/10)
