Comfy and great location but note there are stairs
Pros:

Location, roomy and tv not on wall. Whole place looked like an Oasis in the city.

Cons:

Stairs. Had stairs up to apartment and in apartment to bedroom and bathroom. I have trouble with stairs. Staff swapped me to ground floor apartment but it still had stairs to bedroom but there was a toilet downstairs this time so stayed there.

Pros:

Very convenient access to St Vincents Hospital. Close to restaurants and public transport. Friendly, helpful staff.

Cons:

Carpet in living area was very tired. Double doors to the balcony had large air gaps which let the outside air in.

Pros:

The bed was 2 singles pushed together, they were very low to the ground which can be difficult for someone with knee issues, with little support. One of the worst beds I've slept in and I've done a lot of travel. A full length mirror in the bedroom somewhere would be appreciated. The bedside table looked like it was picked up off the street, paint chipped and scratched. You don't need to spend a lot of money to provide nice furnishings. The courtyard garden needs some tidying up & could be much better presented.

Cons:

As above

Perfekte Unterkunft für mehrere Personen und nah zur Translation
Pros:

Die Unterkunft war perfekt. Ich reiste mit einer Freundin und wir beide hatten unser eigenes Zimmer und eigenes Badezimmer. Es hatte sogar eine Waschmaschine, die wir benutzten. Lage war perfekt, nur ein paar Gehminuten von der nächsten Tramstelle.

Cons:

Kann nichts dazu sagen. Alles war ok.
