A good find.
Pros:

Much more spacious than I expected. Great location

Cons:

Quite dark inside and the sofa bed was completely wonky. Our guest who was supposed to sleep on the sofa bed just slept on the other sofa.

Pros:

Location great
Was able to check in earlier
Good large space for the amount of people
Tea and coffee available
The bedrooms were very spacious and beds comfortable

Cons:

The apartments you can tell have been used it was very worn in the bathrooms and walls. The floor was filthy feet were black. we had a sofa bed that was for 2 people but could only fit 1 person so i had to sleep on the couch and the mattress on that was about 5cm , could feel the springs. And it collapsed underneath us.
There was damp and water damage on the ceiling
Not great for value of money,

In need of some tlc
Pros:

We stayed in a two-bedroom apartment on Duke Street. It's in an ideal, lovely location, with great, roomy parking right outside. The apartment itself was spacious, which we appreciated, but it is in need of refurbishment. The carpet was dirty, the toilet seat was broken, and the taps just twizzled round, which made them awkward to use.
There were also a few basic touches missing. There was no milk for tea or coffee and no bottled water. The apartments were tricky to find as well. Although it said check-in information would explain where they were, an online map and an email confirming when payment would be taken would have been much more courteous and helpful.
Payment was taken three days before arrival, even though the booking said cancellation was allowed up to 24 hours before check-in, which didn’t feel very clear.
Breakfast was disappointing for the price. It was just one hot meal or yoghurt with granola, rather than a normal hotel breakfast with things like toast, pastries, or cereal.
Overall, it felt expensive for what it was. That said, the location was lovely and we did like the apartment’s size, so I would stay again, but only if it was on a special offer.
