We were quite happy with the apartment; we felt the description to be honest and fair. The location close to the CBD was an important advantage, and we had no problems getting to the city location we needed.

The handover was friendly, very obliging, and detailed. Having kept them waiting for our arrival, we were never the less met warmly, and given accurate information about nearby amenities. It was a pleasant experience, and we thank you.

Our apartment faced east and was on the twenty-second floor, this proved to be both a joy and annoyance. The joy a brilliant view and spectacular sunrises, the annoyance, on fine days a glaring sun until midday. However, window treatments were more than adequate to shelter behind.

On our arrival, the odour of the neighbours curry filled the floor hallway; however, it did not enter through into the apartment. After the sixth day, the curry smell became tiresome. I guess that’s apartment living. On inspecting the apartment, we were surprised that there was no Micro Wave, an essential I would have thought, also no toaster.

In fact, I considered the kitchenware a little scrappy, somewhat uncared for. Only four mugs and place settings, that sort of thing. I hope we are not being too trivial, but it did raise questions. Given the minimal cost involved in a kitchenware upgrade, it might be something the owner would like to consider.

The furnishings were of a good quality as was the furniture, particularly the beds and bedding. A general sense of sparse might be an appropriate overall description. This is from our perception not someone’s home. It feels a little abandoned.

Bathroom was excellent even though it includes the toilet, washing machine, and dryer. There was plenty of hot water, and presented all together very clean and modern. The shower/bath need some care if you are older. A handgrip would be helpful.

An oversight by the cleaners was for a non-smoker a minor disappointment; the butt bucket on the balcony was full of old stinking buts. You might get the impression that we were disappointed; well nothing could be further from the truth. We enjoyed our stay, and will, given the opportunity, certainly stay again.

Consider a brilliant position, fair tariff, clean and tidy building throughout, accommodating and pleasant owner, what more would you expect. Our report is just what it is, a report, given we believe honestly and for the benefit of all. It’s our sincere hope that this review will benefit Martin the owner and all who stay in this excellent property. Our party heartily commend all to it.
