Pros:

Location and bbq/pool area were perfect. Full laundry.

Cons:

Rooms were dirty. Dirty tissues around and under beds on arrival. No block out blinds in one room. The air con didnt work in the bedrooms in one room. Only worked in the lounge/ dining area. The body wash and shampoo conditioner were in tiny bottles not enough for our 5 day stay and not enough for 4 ppl /room.

The actual apartment was amazing with access to great eateries.
Pros:

Location was wonderful, apartment was spacious and comfortable.

I was told to park in a parking spot and then the morning I was checking out I found a notice on my car telling me I was in the wrong spot and my car was at risk of being towed.

Tolle Unterkunft
Pros:

Wir haben zweimal eine Unterkunft in den Opera Apartments gebucht. Die Apartments waren sehr gut ausgestattet. Vom Balkon hatte man einen super Blick. Das Personal war extrem freundlich und zuvorkommend. Die Lage ist toll. In wenigen Minuten ist man in South Banks am Fluss oder im CBD.

Cons:

Es hat uns alles gefallen. Würden die Unterkunft jederzeit wieder buchen.

A really great place to stay in Brisbane, well appointed and well located by the lovely South Bank area!
Pros:

Great location, nice apartment and fab view. It all worked really well.

Cons:

The reception was on reduced hours over the holiday weekend and as I was somewhere without much phone signal or WiFi it was tricky to send them the info they needed to get check in details but once that was sorted it was all fine. The fire alarm also went off one night but that wasn’t the accommodation’s fault and must have been something with another apartment.

Location, location, location: walking distance to Southbank, Westend, QPAC and Cultural Centre and great restaurants.
Pros:

Awesome views and location. Well equipped for our three days. Two great coffee shops nearby - in the same block. Lovely rooftop pool area.

Cons:

Bed was a bit soft for our liking and pay TV didn’t work, despite compendium mentioning access to Foxtel channels. Tried Netflix but no access so resorted to a book and my iPad for in-house entertainment.
