Staying with Lesley was an absolute amazing time. The convenient location allows you to go to Surfers in less than 10 minutes, while you even have plenty of shops and restaurants around. The apartment itself is breathtaking, with stunning views and including access to a huge pool area. Lesley is a lovely host, that understands perfectly what her guests could need and always has an interesting story to tell! I enjoyed every single day of my stay and I'll definitely come back to the Gold Coast one day!
