Disappointing stressful experience
Pros:

Location close to Austin Hospital for surgery

Cons:

The rudeness and self-centred attitude of the manager Daniel at samma linden apartments.
Myself and my daughter didn’t receive keys at arrival he threatened to charge us if keys was in drop box it wasn’t. We requested two bathrooms with two rooms only got one bathroom he refused to provide for two bathrooms although we payed for two. On departure we drop keys in drop box he said we didn’t and he refuse to refund our security bond until we said I’m getting a lawyer his attitude change he wouldn’t take our calls I had to go though booking.com to communicate on my behalf. Please people be aware take photo’s of everything you experience sighted that’s not right or you did not do at linden apartment and especially the drop box keys on arrival & departure keys in the drop box. This guy won’t reason. Be aware people a stressful experience.

Clean, safe, spacious and convenient
Pros:

The location was excellent for appointments at the Austin Hospital, it’s so close. I liked the convenience of the self check in and out and the explicit instructions with pictures made it a breeze. Super quiet, I didn’t hear a thing so had a great sleep. The bed in the second room was very comfortable with good pillows. Great bathroom, hot water and a spacious apartment. Parking secure and allocated at time of booking, thank you! Wonderful cafe 50m across the Rd called Chef’s Hand - best cooked breakfast I’ve ever had 10/10!

Cons:

The only downside was the bed in the master which was super low and 2 singles pushed together. Incredibly uncomfortable, my 22 y.o. son wouldn’t let me sleep on it with my bad back and in the morning said it is the most uncomfortable bed he has ever slept in.
