Pros:

Great location close to shops, cafe's restaurants and river walks. Tram stops right outside. Safe and secure parking. Bed was comfortable and the room was quiet. Only interacted with one staff member, which was the girl on reception when I checked in, I didn't get her name, but I noticed her welcoming each guest by name whenever she saw them, so shout out to her as she was doing a wonderful job!

Cons:

Greater attention to detail would make a big difference to overall experience. I found that many of the apartment facilities were in need of maintenance/replacement: pedal bin in bathroom was broken leaving rusty prong of metal for opening, towels were old, hard/stiff (I actually went and bought my own from the shopping centre), couch looked dirty and cushions were out of shape and uncomfortable, 2 out of 4 lamps in the apartment had blown bulbs and one of the overhead lights had a bulb that was flickering, air conditioner was also old and took a long time to get going and the shower was weird, you couldn't adjust flow or direction of water, it was just one strong jet of water pointing straight ahead.

Lovely accommodation, very confortable
Pros:

The spot was excellent, everything I needed was within walking distance.

Cons:

The shower, tap positioned opposite shower head, which could not be moved or adjusted, I had to keep shower door open, while I opened the water, freezing water wet me and the shower door on the outside, water went everywhere and took ages to warm up, poorly designed.

Was perfect for my needs.
Pros:

Great value, friendly and capable sraff and brilliant location.

Cons:

The shower door opens onto the shower mixer so using the shower is painful. Why not a sliding shower door? The shower head has an awful spray pattern and no adjustment. Till you get the temperature right you either freeze or scald yourself and get water all over the floor.
