Fantastic apartment with amazing views very comfortable very clean very modern.
Pros:

Well equipped apartment in a fantastic location, very comfortable beds, modern facilities and a big luscious bath.

Cons:

Little bit of a maze to get inside and probably not suitable for elderly people as the bath is quite big to step into to gain access to the shower.

Pros:

Location is great. Apartment had good sized kitchen and washing machine was replaced immediately when it didn't work.

Cons:

Apartments are unstaffed and could do with a little love. Windows on higher levels rattle in wind and get heavy condensation in cooler weather.

Pros:

Location.

Cons:

The lifts stopped working in the middle of the night. We had to alert a customer service person on call. There was no staff on site so some people got locked off the floor for two hours - found by us.
The check in was unnecessarily complicated with multiple codes. Bathroom fan didn't work. Pictures of apartments not inaccurate - much smaller. Furniture tired.
