It is entry through a internal lane and is ok during the day. Night time is not so good. A few crackheads and dodgy types about at night.
The renovation is better than it was when I lived there but its not the looks that will cause you issues. It is a "add on" level that is short on height and had major leakage problems when rain fell. We slathered the rooftop with black tar like stuff to try to stop leaks when storms hit and tried to drain water away. worked ok but not sustainable in the heat as everything on the roof got the morning and afternoon sun.
Because it is a stand alone add on there is no protection from the sun at any time and so it is like a bloody oven. I ran fans during the day and at night. The aircon was too big for the bedroom and was not very efficient.
In fact the heat in April was a mitigating factor for leaving as I had left the balcony door open for a breeze when I went to bed and woke up about 2.30 with a feeling of something not right. I checked my phone that was on the stand beside the bed but alas it was not charging there. I thought I must have left it in the lounge room charging by the laptop but , no not there. I then noticed the front door open and ran there. I heard footsteps on the roof next door so just locked the door. , Put some clothes on, and checked to see that nothing other than a fake $20 note I had near the laptop was missing. (the laptop was locked to the wall)


I was a regular at the Golden Vine around the corner and deputised as manager when Lan went away. That was why I lived there.
I had been robbed by three scruffy ladyboys with a knife outside the block 8 months before so this was time to go find a less hazardous place to camp.
I decided that if they can get up to the forth floor with nothing to hold onto I needed to live somewhere else . Three days later I moved.
I don't know this bloke but do know the place.

Should be able to own it as a foreigner as it's not on the ground floor.
