Very nice and helpful managers. Nice and clean. Good location- a bit of a walk into city but good taxis. Beds comfortable and clean linen but furniture very old and stove needs replacing.

Unit was spacious and had everything needed. Manager was great, went above and beyond. Plumbing knocking during the night was a problem. No smoke alarms was concerning.

6/10 Good

The Customer service was great, very polite and kind, however, I arrived late on night 1, I established my fridge didn’t work, I informed reception. They got someone out (apparently) but it was never fixed. This for me was just disappointing as I select apartments with full kitchens for a reason. Not having a fridge for 4 days very very inconvenient, no compensation offered.

Suited the purpose
Suited our purpose for a good price. It is off the main stretch, but we were doing tours the whole time we were there. It was clean and equipped. Couldn’t get the dishwasher to work, but Mike checked it after we left and said it was, so perhaps some instructions would help. It’s neat the train tracks, but I don’t recall hearing a train during our stay.
