The property was easy to find, staff friendly and helpful and was in a great location. Supermarket just across the road. We had a kitchen so we opted to eat in. Grabbed a roast chook and assorted salads from the supermarket (known as Woollies in AUS). Very comfortable. Walked to the CBD. Would highly recommend ASURE.
