Cheap, clean but could do with refurb
Pros:

The location was really convenient very close to the promenade. The property was clean. However it could do with a refurb. There was a very stale smell in the room so we kept the door open the majority of the time. Overall it was great value for money and close to everything. Probably wouldn’t stay again but if you were in a budget It would do.

Cons:

There was a stale damp smell in the apartment.

Pros:

The apartment was of a decent size, with separate room and bathroom. It came with a washing machine and dryer, which was very handy.
Bed was comfy.
We didn't use the pool much but I appreciated having one. Great for the warmer months.
Location-wise it was fine for us - 15 mins walk to the Esplanade and to the bus/train station. Close to restaurants and amenities.

Cons:

The apartment is a bit run down. The furniture looks a bit old and the taps were hard to open/close.
Some shower gel and additional toilet paper would have been nice.

Great location, quiet and comfortable - would definitely stay again!
Pros:

The apartments were a short walk to the boardwalk - just over a block - and about 10 minutes to the lagoon/bars/market/main area of Cairns city. The room itself was very clean and bed was comfortable. The cupboards, kitchen supplies and bathroom were more than adequate for my 9 day stay. The accomodation was very quiet at night and most of the day. Wifi was fast and I had Netflix and Prime TV - don't know whose login but it was appreciated :D

Cons:

Only thing about the bathroom was I would've appreciated face washers and the shower pressure was very low, also hot water took a very long time to filter through and not very hot at all (not good for fatty dish washing). The couch was a bit uncomfortable - too soft, maybe worn out under cushions??? I was on the bottom floor looking out onto car park which wasn't great, especially at night when you might want the windows open for a breeze and everyone can see into your room but was still very good. Fortunately I had to be out of bed early but probably would have been a bit annoyed by the use of the extra 'guest toilet' located near my room which started banging doors very early in the morning. I think I probably had the worst location for room in the block though and others would be much better.
