It was a good sized one bedroom apartment in a convenient location. Walkable to the V&A and Bree Street. Unfortunately the room wasn’t ready at check in time but when we got in it was clean and we liked the balcony. We would have appreciated being able to recycle waste.m in the apartment. Nice rooftop with great views and a pool! Building is very secure.
