lovely clean relaxing girls night away with a show.
Pros:

the apartment was lovely and clean. I did request to have single beds and I wasn't expecting that it was going to happen. But the staff went above expectations for us. To have a lovely clean place to meet with a couple of friends to go to the show was perfect. We all thankyou

Cons:

I must admit parking in the basement was tight. But hey at least the car was safe. A luckily, I didn't have a big car.

Excellent and large 2 bedroom apartment for a family. It had everything we needed and it certainly exceeded our expectations. Easy, quick walk to market, Chinatown and restaurants.

Comfortable stay in convinient area.
Pros:

Location was great and easy to get to from the airport via the bus. The apartment was spacious with all emenities you would need for a weekend trip. The room had washer dryer which was good. The main bedroom was good size, the second slightly small but works well. The rooms were clean. The bagel shop next door was excellent.

Cons:

The rooms got very hot in the night as there is only A/C in the living room and the bedrooms are too far away to get the cool air inside. The walls were very thin so the smaller bedroom got "disturbed" whenever someone went to the bathroom in the night (which was located between the two bedrooms).

Pros:

Well located with lovely staff. Large living room space. Everything worked.

Cons:

The bedrooms are tiny windowless rooms, making it very stuffy. There is little sound insulation from the main bedroom to the hallway (it's a window!) so people talking loudly at 5:30am on Sunday made it a less good sleep, for sure. The kitchen has VERY basic fittings - one type of tea, very limited equipment for a 2-bedroom apartment. The bathrooms need updating, particularly the showers. The hairdryer attachment is for a different dryer and didn't work on the one supplied.

Pros:

The place was bigger than my own 2 bed apartment in Sydney, excellent location, lovely staff and had everything we needed. Hot water for showers and washing machine and dryer with detergent provided was very helpful at the end of our trip.

Cons:

Parking was available but the turn into it is very tight so being in a bigger car was....challenging. I couldn't manage to get around it in one go. But once in there were plenty of spots. Pillows/beds were okay, slept well one night but not the next but also depends on your preference. Overall great place though
