The apartment is simple and tidy. It has the basic appliances but no extras such such as scissors or a sink plug. Some wear and tear, it could do with some minor maintenance.
Windows have blackout curtains which was great for day sleeping while recovering from jet-lag and there is lots of storage.
The owner was responsive and accessing the building was easy via the door man who handed us the keys upon arrival.
The gym and the pool were available. Location was very central and close to buses and subway.
There are two active building sites, one next door and another one right across the road, so it’s very noisy during the day. On the first day of our stay it was rainy and windy and there was a constant banging noise coming from somewhere in the building (outside the apartment) all night which made it hard to sleep.
Bed covering was a size too small for the queen bed, so it was a bit uncomfortable for two people to share.
Arriving from overseas after a 2 day flight, there was no welcome pack, snacks or instruction manual with details on local amenities such as food stores or ATMs. I asked if there were any stores in the area where I could buy food for my kids at midnight upon arrival and they didn’t have any information, although the building guard informed me there was a 24hr store right at the corner, which was handy at the time.
The shower leaks onto the bathroom floor so the floor mat was always wet.
I couldn’t work out the bedroom TV and the stove, which was very frustrating. I spent half an hour trying to boil a pot of water and gave up.
Overall an ok place but I was expecting a bit more at that price point.
