Loved the stay! Will be coming back next Winter…read more I enjoy staying in Oz over the Winter because it's nice and warm and Summer Christmas just feels right to me. But I usually end up spending a lot on hotels, which don't give you a lot of freedom and then I spent money on restaurants and laundry services. So last years' holiday I decided to try renting a flat, as a friend suggested. Well this place was lovely. Fully furnished, a pool and a gym and a short walk from the market and the sea. We actually saved money compared to the year before and we were eating great food and having a good time. Definitely worth a try if you have extended Oz holidays!

We have just returned from our trip to Sydney and wanted to give theses guys some praise. We found…read morethem while searching for a monthly rental in Sydney's Castle Hill area to be close to our daughter who is doing a 3-year course. We got in touch with Furnished Properties and they offered us several properties in the area which suited us perfectly as our daughter was staying with us as was our 2 sons. We wanted a house and garden and not an apartment and we all wanted bedrooms of our own. We got this delightful 4 bedroom / 3 bathroom property which came with car rental included (nice touch) saved us a few $100 in rental costs at least. The Property was nice, the wife loved it. Had all we needed and more, nice large TV with Foxtel, BBQ and decking out back, nice large welcome pack, DVD player, and lots more Furniture was clean and modern as were the linen and towels We had no problems during our stay so not really any need to contact Furnished Properties but during the booking process they were really nice I would rent from them again on our next trip for NewYear

I do not recommend anyone to enter in any dealings with .......... as she does not respect…read morecontractual terms and will try to rip you off at the first opportunity. Her contractual obligation was to pay for the works once complete. she refuses to pay for the works carried out. Be aware that a person that does not respect contractual terms is not a person you want to trust with your possessions earned through your hard work. As in regards to Metro Realty, they refuse to forward the calls to her and that is the only dealing I have had with Metro Realty and this review is to reflect the professional conduct of Metro Realty.

Agree with previous review. This agency will try and dodge its legal responsibilities especially…read moreregarding the lease details. Poor Condition report on property recently rented would have caught many unsuspecting tenants. They tend to not note things on report and defects are actively hidden such as dodgy power points behind furniture. They made excuses for not sticking with the terms of residential agreements such as ensuring tenants have contacts details of landlords. Told us we couldn't have them and refused to acknowledge as a legal requirement on NSW lease. We are in Sydney for work purposes and we have investment properties elsewhere. As a homeowner , landlord, commercial property owner and now tenant we can't recommend this business.

Large 1 bedroom apartment with huge kingside bed, spacious living space with an extra single bed, complete kitchen facilities and laundry in bathroom. Overall a clean apartment that fulfils living requirements. Aesthetic wise there is no wow factor but its more than satisfactory with standard modern-ish furniture. It is however a little tired with the sofa and breather chairs stained and worn but no biggie, ill live. Goulburn st parking lot across the rd which is on the cheap side for Sydney rates, after 5 $10 with an exit by 6am or st parking fee after 10pm.

This is probably the first time that I have stayed in one of these apartment hotels (not counting…read morethe one on the Gold Coast) and I must say that there are some good and bad points. The good point is that they are quite well decked out, that is as an apartment as opposed to a simple hotel room. The one I stayed in had cutlery, crockery, and a washing machine (as well as a television, but don't all hotel rooms have television, not that I actually watch it). They are also incredibly secure. However there is a downside to it, and that is that they are quite expensive. There are also a number of rules as well, such as having to sign in all guests that you take to the apartment (and I suspect that goes for owner/occupiers as well). They are also all strictly non-smoking (not surprising) though it appeared that that included the balcony as well (why have a balcony if you can't smoke on it?).

We experienced a blown transformer causing a building wide power outage this weekend and they were not contactable. The outage happened on Sunday afternoon around 2pm. I had to call the office at 9am on Monday morning to ask what was going on (one of my tenants is an elderly lady who was in a panic). We have an account manager Mariana Carinus who is terribly rude. She told me they don't work on weekends. Really? This is an emergency and should fall outside of your 9am-5pm hours. In this day and age everyone should be able to send out an email in an emergency on the weekend. They're stuck in the dark ages and just really don't care. They refuse to take B-PAY for quarterly dues and they close down for two weeks over Christmas. They will definitely be voted out at our next AGM.

Despite the fact I was a good tenant with no complaints during my occupancy they were extremely unreasonable upon my vacating the property. The place was left in a clean and tidy condition,however they decided it was acceptable to charge $250 cleaning fee and ignore requests for justification of this exorbitant cost. I have never had money deducted from a bond previously (rented 15+ properties). I would give agent a miss if you would like a positive rental experience.
