I had a free "upgrade" to Emerald Apartments as there was some last minute issues with this apartment. So this review is not for this specific unit.

I regret accepting the free"upgrade" to Emerald Apartments, experience with USS was not the most pleasant & i am rather disappointed with the service provided - communication, tardiness..so back to the Emerald Apartments unit specifically:

Pros:
+ awesome view of Albert Park
+ bedrooms were big enough
+ there is WIFI

Cons:
- cleanliness was......carpet was dusty & musky, wooden flooring had random oily patches, utensils in the drawer had food stuck on them...
- there is a crack/gap on the balcony doors, so wind was sipping in even when the doors were closed..howling away the whole night
- living room is small
- there is no dryer

Location was quite convenient with the tram stop just a couple of minutes away & maybe 3-4 stops to CBD. However, we have planned our trip around the original location & it was quite a hassle for us.
