Nice, clean apartment for Launceston stay
Everything was fine, it is clean and nice, small apartment with all the basics and easy parking.I really liked the code door, instead of the key.The only thing I didn't like was the noise from the upstairs apartment. Moreover, there are certain check-out rules, like taking the trash out, which is a bit of an inconvenience compared to hotels, when you have to check out early for work.
