Great location, 15 minute walk from CBD but shops, pubs, etc only 1 block away. Check in was simple with excellent communication with hist before & during stay. Apartment was clean with access to everything you need but was a little aged in condition - in particular the shower/bathroom was very old style with fixed shower head & shower curtain which proceeded to let water flow out of the shower all over the bathroom floor every time you had a shower. Additionally, privacy was a little compromised by the apartment age - all winders were 70's style Louvre type, which did nothing to keep out any external noise - people walking past, neighbours conversations, Street noise, etc all sounded like it was right outside our apartment. Additionally, the windows are easy to open from the outside although we had no problem with intruders while we were there. Apart from these few things, it was a comfortable stay.
