Pros:

Good location and easy to find. Instructions for checking in easy to understand. Large apartment.

Cons:

Humidity is a problem in Cairns but it felt like the apartment hadn't been given a good clean for some time. There was mould in the bathroom trays and the container holding tea/coffee had coffee grinds in it. There was no milk in the fridge. There was mould on the cushions on the lounge.

Comfortable with everything you need.
Pros:

Really comfy and clean with everything you needed. Bed was really comfy, nice mattress, good pillows. Little kitchen/lounge. Nice sofa. Shower was amazingly good (good water pressure, could go very hot if you wanted). Effective air con held at 23 degrees Celsius despite temp outside at 30+. A sachet of laundry detergent provided (very helpful). The location is excellent, a 10 min walk from most places.

The team extended my stay for me with ease.

Cons:

The decor isn't the most modern, although I quite liked it as I didn't feel like I was about to tarnish a perfect finish. The window blinds were broken but given that you want to keep them closed 95% of the time that was not a problem. The bathroom didn't seem to have an extractor fan, but the aircon handled steam effectively.
You have to phone the reception most of the time as the desk is not always personed. Fine if your phone works! There is a free landline phone on the street, but at night with jet lag I couldn't find it easily.
These are relatively minor points though!

Would recommend
Pros:

Arriving, were chased to the lift to be offered and given a key to a top floor unit, which turned out to be nice, orthodox, clean and spacious enough with view of the hills and the boys’ and girls’ dormitory rooms facing us curtains drawn all night from Gilligan’s.
Location very central, pool large enough and inviting and surprisingly private and quiet.
Bed good, garage secure and staff quite left us alone.

Cons:

A solid building beginning to date but clean well-serviced and ordered.
Wifi sucks though.
