This was by far the cleanest most beautiful apartment that we have ever stayed in and we travel for work and leisure a lot. The staff communication was beyond excellent. There was a shopping centre within arms reach and plenty of places for take out or eat in . I would highly recommend this property.

Good location. Room smelt like the carpet is a bit musty and needs a good deep clean. Overall room was quite clean though. Checkin process was pretty poor. Website says open until 7pm, but was closed at 5pm and checkin instructions weren't great as to location of room. No sharing of information about amenities of complex or attractions in local area.
