The apartment is in a really great location if you need easy access to the hospitals for work, as we did! You certainly can hear the zoo animals at timea, which our daughter loved and the having so many parks in close proximity was wonderful. There were some unexpected building works during our stay but comms witb Christy was really good and she made every effort to make adjustments as required so that there was minimal impact on our stay. Neighbours are also really friendly and helpful too. Just would have liked some more tall water glasses to drink from (there was only one) and a moka pot for coffee but other than that kichen was well equipped.
