Super handy spot, just down the road from the Mall, parking was a bit tight but off street, we had the first room facing the street, (even though it was away from the street front a bit) so still a little bit of street noise, I think the other rooms would have been very quiet, as it backs onto a reserve, clean, tidy and very good size for the price (2 bed 2 storied apartment). It Worked well, and would stay again

It would have been really good if the fire alarm did not go off twice in a row and we had to evacuate twice, which was unfortunate and out of the control of the owners - but it did not make for a very good nights sleep!

Rebecca, NZ

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Disliked: Staff & service, room comfort
Cold, strange layout, heat pumps and heaters don’t work, bathroom heater doesn’t work. Staff rude and unhelpful. I had got a spray tan while in town and had brought my own sheets and pillows to avoid ruining theirs and my pillow was taken, then they lied about having it and then phoned me up after both myself and my partner having asked for my belongings back, they told me I had in fact not brought my pillow and it was already at my house. Then they called to tell me they miraculously found it in my room when they stripped the bed on the bed even though I had left the bed already stripped from the process of looking for my stuff. Following this, I asked to be sent my things and they refused as I had “forgotten” it and it was not their responsibility. Absolutely terrible.

지내기 불편함이 없다.
어떤 연유 에선지 손님이 나뿐이어서 조용하고 좋았다. 비교적 관리를 잘하려고 노력하는 곳인듯하다. 다만 와이파이는 다른 곳에 비해 많이 느려서 아주 불편했다.
