You are right they didn't specify thats why I didn't make any assumptions just thought about the budget and area specified.

I must tell my friends without these features in their San Francisco and New York apartments that they are no longer professionals. I am also lucky my American wife didn't leave me when we didn't have any of these features now we only have the granite kitchen tops she is still waiting for the spa and the fridge..

As someone on the ground who pays close attention to rentals in the Eastern Suburbs area I can tell you not all go quickly. Sure some do but its not the horror story the press would have you think. Trying to bring a bit of positivity from the locals to someone moving to our city.
