Overall it was very disappointing and will never stay there again.
Pros:

The location was fine.

Cons:

The cleanliness was disgusting. The kitchen appliances were dirty.
The kettle had slime in it, the toaster had mould in it. The bathroom had mould on floor, cockroaches and previous guests toothbrush and toothpaste in drawer. The loungeroom floor had bird poo on it. The rooms stunk and the lounge stunk. The beds were like sleeping on base without mattress. Our experience was so bad we were originally booked in for 3 nights and left after 1.

Overrated and very basic place to stay No Internet . For Business that's not great.
Pros:

Not much actually the only good thing I can mention was the lift ? It worked well.

Cons:

The apartment was not clean enough; the internet did not work good enough. We wanted to watch the footy and stay in but no nothing available on the tv. The kitchen was very basic. The towel rail was inside the shower ? unsure how they are supposed to dry there.
