It was an awful, pokey little place for the price!
The bed was like sleeping on a board and affected my wife’s back terribly.
The couch if you can call it that was very small and uncomfortable so during the day if in the apartment we had to really sit on the bed - which wasn’t much better but was bigger than the couch.
Speaking more on the bed, we understood we were getting a queen bed but clearly we only got a double bed which was not good enough.
Also, it was ridiculous we only got 2 towels and had to wait for a towel change about 6 nights in. I say towel change because they didn’t change the sheets just provided us with another two towels.
In addition, it was very warm unless you kept the aircon on continuously but the aircon didn’t really make it into the bedroom so in the evenings it was like a suffocation camp.
Finally, the place we thought we were going to get - via the pictures on booking.com - certainly was not the same apartment which was pretty disappointing, especially for the price!!
Hands down the worst place we’ve stayed.
4.0
Spacious. Good view.
1. Quite dirty, body hair on the bathroom floor.
2. Found ladies' undies, socks in wardrobe drawers.
3. Cotton butts in bedside drawers.
4. Still had clothes and underwear in the washing machine.
5. The fridge is not even cold and makes loud, high-pitched noise.
6. The most disgusting is that the towels had fresh red blood stain on them.
7. The old man who checked us in looks like he hated his job.

One of the worst places I have stayed at, the ground was so dirty that your feet turn black within minutes of walking on the floor, aircon doesn’t work, bbq barely works, management barely answer the phone and are unhelpful- we booked for 3 nights and left on the 2nd day due to how dirty and poorly management DO NOT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE AND WASTE YOUR TIME AND BOOK HERE
Over rated, Air conditioning doesn’t work, BBQ is broken, floor is filthy, management have a poor attitude and poor communication skills.

The location was great and close to the train and light rail. You can see water and the light rail from the balcony which our toddler absolutely loved. The beds were comfy, sheets were fresh, and some toiletries were provided which was handy. Robert met with us and showed us where to park and gave us a little tour of the apartment, he was very polite. There is also a BBQ area on the roof top which would be great on warmer days. Wifi was included, along with Netflix - perfect for rainy days or to keep the kids entertained indoors. The key drop off was convenient for when you check out.
The communication wasn't all that great - messages via booking.com went unanswered as I had some questions around parking. However my call was picked up when we arrived and got in no probs. The floor was super sticky and dirty as if we were at a bar... at 2 in the morning. Pretty sure the floor had way more Jagger bombs than I ever did. Our baby was crawling around on the floor and his pants turned dark straight away. I had to bin my socks as they were filthy from walking around the apartment. Rug was filthy too and had all sorts of stains. The couch smelt like an armpit. I had texted Robert regarding the state of the floor, but no reply. However when we returned, it seemed like there was an attempt to clean floor. The floor shampoo smelt great, but it was still a bit sticky. Some of the toiletries provided were half used when we first arrived. Air con didn't work. No mop or bucket was available. Parking was extra - found out after I had booked it.

Location, cleanliness.
Nothing much, could always be cheaper of course. Could have a full length mirror somewhere.

Easy access to carpark and room. Breakfast was very nice (al-cart)
Lounge and chairs in apartment were dirty/stained

Clean, modern and reasonably well equiped. Very close to tram/rail interchange and Market Town for shopping. Stayed 17 nights and renewed booking for further 28.
Could have done with more kitchen utensils and place settings to fully utilise dish washer, but a small niggle.
