the location was good. it was around 15 minutes walk from the train station. the route to the apartment was very tourist-friendly..

the shower drain was blocked. it was difficult to have proper showers due to overflowing. the shower knob was stiff and difficult to turn in order to turn the water on.

Acceptable Stay with Issues

central locationstained rugsmelly cushions

The apartment location was alright. It was close to the main attractions.

The apartment wasn't what I expected. I found a broken dining chair and a stained rug. The cushions on the bed smelled bad and were stained too, which I told the staff about, but nothing happened while I was there.

The location was indeed great. it took me around 15 minutes to walk from the train station. the apartment was very clean. i also found the keyless entry system very convenient. I received the code by email.

the windows did not offer sufficient sound insulation, so i could hear quite a bit of street noise.

the building felt organized and well kept. Everything was super clean, and i experienced excellent cleanliness throughout my visit. the location proved advantageous, providing comfortable walking distance to main attractions like princess street. plus, the fast and stable internet connection was very useful, and the management was responsive and professional.

the street outside was lively and well connected with public transport, but this did mean some street noise was audible from the apartment.
