Wer es großzügig, und geschmackvoll eingerichtet mag bei gleichzeitig zentraler Lage, ist hier richtig!
Pros:

Die Großzügigkeit, der Balkon, die schöne Einrichtung , gute Ausstattung mit Waschmaschine und Trockner, sowie die Lage in Laufnähe zur Waterfront, außerdem die Restaurants und der Coffeeshop im Haus.

Cons:

Die Klimaanlage war unerträglich laut, das Bad klein, nur mit Badewanne ausgestattet, was für Menschen mit Behinderung problematisch sein kann, und das Bett „knarrte“ beim Umdrehen. Für so eine großzügige Wohnung fand ich den Esstisch einfach zu klein.

Beautiful Apartment in Best Location with some Frustration
Pros:

Location !!!
Beautiful Apartment

Cons:

Since Totalstay took over much has Gone Down. Frustrating getting from -2 parking to your floor....needing to use 2 different lifts. No hot water at bathroom basin. Worse shower head EVER...Had a 1 hour AC service while in apartment 😕 to find it still leaking water after. No staff sent to clean after the mess they made.

Great location, friendly staff but cleanliness of the apartment was disappointing
Pros:

The location was great. Within walking distance to city centre, shops and restaurants. Also, easy to get to the freeway and to other tourist centres by car.

Cons:

The apartment was not fully clean when we arrived. The trash from the previous occupant was still in the kitchen and the whole apartment and bathrooms were only cleaned superficially. We raised it with the staff who then sent in a team to clean up. The staff was very helpful though.

Great Location, dissapointing apartments.
Pros:

The Location of the apartments is excellent. The size of the apartments was good for 4 people.

Cons:

There were many problems using the entry system to the apartment block. There were broken cupboards, mould in the bathrooms, balc9ny door would not lock, missing crockey and the fridge was not able yo keep things cold. Effectively there has been little maintenence of the apartments. The staff seemed unable to provide a solution to any problems

Pros:

The location was great and the size of the unit was more than expected. The staff were helpful.

Cons:

The unit smelt like canabis unfortunately which was unpleasant. The curtains and carpet had a stronger smell. Not amazing when I have a 3 yr old staying with me. The bath tub in the one bathroom was cracked and taped over which seems like a hazard. There were too few pillows on the beds and tv remote needed replacing as some buttons were missing. Other than that it was good

Pros:

L’accueil était très sympa

Cons:

L’entretien n’est pas à niveau . Des fuites dans la salle de bain , lavabo bouché etc , et pas du tout réparé malgré les réparations .
