The room wasn’t very clean. The carpet was stained and the wall was dirty. These things could easily be rectified. The door handles were worn. The size of the apartment was good and we enjoyed having two bathrooms for two bedrooms.

DO NOT STAY HERE!!!!!!!!! The bed is the size of the entire room. The carpet was stained and sticky. The aircon stank like it was full of mould. They turned off the hot water around 7am on a Monday. And they charge as much as a real hotel. Disgusting, overpriced and uncaring staff.

The carpets desperately need a shampoo. A few more drinking glasses would be useful. The microwave seems like a hazard with lots of exposed rust inside and there are no small sharp knives, just 3 really large serrated knives. Just could be better equipped.
