The location was fantastic as it was close to the CBD, Salamanca, Battery Point and Mount Wellington. Shops were easily accessible, especially as we had a car. There is a bit of noise traffic, but it is not an issue after peak hour has cleared.

The apartment was spacious with adequate heating. Towels, shampoo, soap and even slippers were supplied. Really appreciated the electric blankets. The living room and bedrooms were comfortable, and big enough to provide privacy for four people.

There were three things that could have been improved. Firstly, the bathroom door did not have a functioning door lock. Secondly, there were only two rolls of toilet paper supplied for four people over the course of a week. We did purchase our own, but thought it was strange. Thirdly, the kitchen had not been cleaned. The kettle had not been emptied out which would not have been an issue. However, the pantry had cockroach droppings because the sugar bag and breadcrumb bag were left unsealed. This put us off from utilising the kitchen for anything but storing drinks and snacks in the fridge.

I thought this was a great place, but because of the price and location, I had high expectations. The above issues did make me feel a little uncomfortable, as they were hygiene and comfort related, therefore leading me to rate this 3 stars.
