The studio was spacious and clean, and had all the amenities you could ask for. There is ample parking and it’s relatively easy to get into the CBD either by driving or taking public transport. The staff were very friendly and I think the offer of milk is a nice touch, it saves you going to the nearby petrol station which I found to be the only alternative.
