Our stay was unpleasant, the apartments are dated and disgusting.
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

On entry to the room, all you could smell was damp and dirty smell. The couches were soo old, uncomfortable and filthy. The curtains and blinds were either broken or wouldn’t open at all. The bathrooms were filthy, taps shower heads and toilets were dated and dirty, and did not work properly. All utensils and crockery needed cleaning prior to use, and the condition of the kitchen items was disgusting. The dishwasher was full of mould, sludge and waste. Could not be used during stay. The linen in all rooms was not fresh, and the blankets were pathetic. The only working aircon is at the main entrance, and does not cool the rooms or living areas. Underneath the beds and couches was disgustingly. There was rubbish, food scraps and cockroaches under there. The full time tenants at the apartments smoke weed on their decks, and watch your every move within the apartment. We stayed 1 night, and would not recommend at all. We would never stay here again. Very disappointing.

It worked for what I needed.
Pros:

I picked this apartment because it was close to where my family lives, but I don't think i would do that again.

Cons:

The place is old, run down and needs work for the price it charges. I did not realise the second bathroom does not have a window, the sliding door to the balcony does not lock and we had to wash the dishes as they were put away dirty. A lot of the apartments are lived in and I did not think about this when I booked, one apartment was quite noisy. Also to get to this apartment you use the outside elevator, you actually don't go inside the apartment, which I felt unsafe at night.
