PROS
- Great location, interesting bars and restaurants close by.
- Big city loft-like environment, entered straight from the sidewalk. Spacious, double-height ceilings. Bright white-washed walls & electronic roller blinds for the floor-to-ceiling, wrap-around windows (previously must have been a shop front).
- Well stocked kitchen. Just missing a tea kettle!
- Lovely welcome gifts.
- Modern, sleek bathroom.
- Incredibly clean throughout.
CONS
- The apartment felt big and airy, but it was not cosy and felt very impersonal. Need more soft furnishings (& blankets) to absorb noise & art on the walls.
- Small bedroom space.
- The sofa and bed were uncomfortable - far, far too hard.
- The apartment is advertised to sleep four people, however, with the amount of light coming into the living area & the hard sofa, I do not agree.
- We couldn’t change the thermostat.
- Water pressure and temperature in the shower was poor/too cold.
- The edges of the window blinds don’t fully cover the windows - gaps at the sides - so if this might bother you, I’d opt for one of the internal apartments instead.
- The parking is too expensive - $25/day. We parked round the corner (five min walk) and three days cost us around $42, not $75!
- The check in is 4pm (at which point the day is pretty much done!) and the check out is 11am. When I enquired if we could get half an hour grace on checking out, I was told it would be a $75 surcharge!
