Pros:

Really big studio (living + fridge below, sleeping room with soft matras + clean bath above)

Cons:

International travellers should be aware that calls from a non australuen number to an australien number and vice versa may not go through due to incompatible conditions/contracts of the telepgone providers --- this problem left me stranded for a good 40min on the parking lot late in the evening until a local appeared whom I could ask to call reception for me...
