FYI You have to check in at their sister property further down Ulster Street. The apartment was pretty spacious and comfortable. Kitchen: The fridge looked nice and new and you can tell they tried their best to clean the apartment. The stove was nice and clean and there is a dish towel and dishwashing liquid, which was a nice touch. However the kitchen is pretty old and probably will need updating. I happened to see one cockroach crawling around in one of the drawers. That was the one and only one I saw though... Bathroom: The toilet walls could use a paint touch up, but no biggy. The vanity/sink area seemed pretty new and nice. There was some nice shampoo and conditioner/amenities. The shower was honestly underpowered and disappointing. It will probably need to be updated along with the kitchen benches/sink. Bedrooms: I found the bed comfortable. It's not exactly a posh bed, but I slept surprisingly well. I appreciated the smart tvs in both bedrooms. It was funny looking at the previous guests YouTube searches. Some reviews comment on people in the neighborhood being loud/trashy, but I didn't notice any loud noises. All in all I thought I got good value for the price I paid. I actually wouldn't mind visiting again. It's not exactly a four-star hotel, but as a cheap, budget-friendly option, it's good. I just hope they update their shower and kitchen. Their review would certainly benefit.

The apartment didn't appear to have been vacuumed well and it smelled like rotten fish so badly that the smell hung on my clothes... The only way i could sleep was to focus the aircon on my fast to offset the smell. I didn't realise how bad it was as i picked up the key and didn't come back until after midnight and i had to leave early in the morning. If i had known the smell was there, i would have complained in person and asked for either my money back or a different room. Other than that it was just ok.

Great stay as the area was quiet and the apartment was spacious. However, the cloth line was broken and the check-in was at a different place. The communication was great and we received reminders and directions & instructions for the check-in the day before.

This trip was our daughters school holiday treat, we got Good place to stay in last minute Even affordable price. Spacey handy location.

Very outdated property. Weird checkin system where you have to go to another property to checkin. Very loud neighbouring property and could hear them all night. Could do with a spruce up.

The property is a bit run down, but i new it wasn't the ritz. Im happy with my stay. Thanks
