A spacious 2 bedroom apartment
Pros:

Staff was polite during check-in.

The location is central with the food court, Little High Eatery just 2 minutes walk away.

Apartment 7 on the ground floor is spacious n wheelchair accessible.

Wall hung heater in the bathroom is good.

Cons:

The toilet seat was WITHOUT a cover and to me, this is unhygienic during flushing. They should have it fixed before selling this room.
