From the U.S., we booked a two-bedroom apartment at La Loft Unley for an expected trip by four of us to Adelaide during the period we were going to be in Australia. Kevin, the assistant manager was especially helpful by email in making arrangements, and assuring us about a lower floor, non-smoking, and offering help as we made our plans. A sudden change in plans after we arrived in Australia caused us to cancel the reservation just 3 days ahead, but within their free cancellation period policy. When we returned to the US two weeks later, we found the charges against our credit card were still outstanding. We contacted La Loft, and Kevin in particular, by email. Kevin responded immediately with an apology and note that the error had been corrected and the charges removed. His service and quick reply were exceptional, and we wish we had been able to fulfill on the reservation to meet and thank him.

We traveled to Adelaide in Dec 2010 and stayed at the La Loft Unley apartments (we had 2 two bedroom apartments) for 5 nights. The booking process was smooth and the La Loft Assistant manager (Kevin de Zilva) was very helpful. We contacted the office when we arrived at Adelaide airport and a lady met us at the apartment to give us the keys. We had some trouble finding the place as we weren't given the street number (only street name). The lady took us to the apartment but didn't really explain so I have to ask all the questions e.g how to we check out, does the front door of the block get locked. I asked her if the supermarket is open (27 Dec) and she said no but she couldn't tell me whether they will be open the next day.
The apartment was spacious. One bedroom had a queen size bed and the other room has 2 single beds. Bedding was comfortable. Both bathrooms were spacious. Kitchen had all the utensils we needed and this apartment is much more generous than other apartments we have stayed at before where they provide sufficient dishwashing liquid, laundry powder. The apartment had a good size balcony.
The downside is the apartment is facing other apartments in close distance and one of the "neighbours" had 3 dogs and 1 cat which means there can be a lot of noises at times. We also had an extremely noisy group above us on New Years Eve where they were talking on a handfree phone with their relatives from midnight to 1am.
The apartments were generally clean but certain parts needs update/ repair e.g one bathroom fan was not working, bath towels are quite old and need replacement, curtains have holes in them, rangehood light was not working etc. These are minor problems but one issue was bothering us during the stay was in apartment 3, we believe there are fleas in the carpet. Both my husband and I had red spots on our ankles. I think the carpet is probably due for some major cleaning.

Overall we had a pleasant stay and considering the price we paid for the two apartments during Xmas/ NY time, I believe it's very good value. I will recommend this to family with young children.
We had a bonus on NYE night where we could see some fireworks from our apartment 3 balcony. The apartment also comes with free internet connection.

Hi,

The apartment I stayed in was of a high standard. The garage had room for 2 cars and there was also shared off street parking out the front. A shopping centre with supermarkets is nearby (on King Wiliam Road) and there are plenty of pubs and restaurants within a 10 minute walk or short drive. Also convenient to CBD and Southern parklands (for those who like to jog or run).

Based on my experience I would defintely recommend these apartments.

We visited family in Adelaide and decided to get our own place for the week we were there so we could have people over and have a little more space than a hotel room offers. We paid $135AUD/night which was good value for what we got. The location is on a side street off Unley Road which has plenty of restaurants and shops within walking distance - although we did have a car. The apartment had two bedrooms and two bathrooms plus a decent kitchen, dining area and living room along with a couple of small patios. This is an urban area - so no views and surrounded by other apartments and homes - fairly upscale though and the area seemed safe. Probably would be less appealing if you did not have a car and if you had younger kids, but we found this worked well for us. The apartments are only serviced weekly - and there are no hotel-type amenities.
