tired and impractical
Pros:

The staff and breakfast were good.

Cons:

The room was very tired. The air conditioning struggled to keep up with the stuffy room was very noisy. I was there for work and having to work on the only table in the room which has no light above it. I asked for a proper lamp and was told to use my bedside table lamp was unsuitable. There was little light and I spent a week each night hunched over the table working with poor lighting.
And it was a shower over a bath which I dislike.

Great polite staff and location but our apartment was not clean
Pros:

Nice view of the parliament. Spacious apartment. We requested a quiet room and a late checkout and our requests were fulfilled.
Lovely staff. Thank you.

Cons:

The apartment was not very clean. While it may have been vacuumed, all the shelves were very dusty and we had to wipe them before putting anything there.
It also took us a while to realise that pots and pans are actually available for your room, but you need to ask for it.
