This apartment was truly amazing, the views are absolutely breathtaking and we saw hot air balloons nearly every morning of our 6 night stay. It’s a corner apartment with windows facing east and south, and the morning sunlight is lovely. You can open the windows for fresh air, and the double glazing keeps it quiet when they are closed.
The beds are very comfortable, and there are block out blinds in the bedrooms.
It has quality appliances and great showers. And while it is not a hugely spacious apartment (more than one person in the kitchen gets crowded) the space has been used cleverly - we loved the seated bar area at the window.
Our host was very responsive in supplying a new coffee maker when the one listed was found to be missing.
The apartment is looking a bit tired for such a new building, with some stains on the carpet and marked walls in places.
The lifts can take a while during busy times, and the car park is on the 7th floor of a neighbouring building with very narrow access ramps between levels- it was nerve wracking to negotiate with our SUV until we got used to it.
Access wise there are 2 full sized consecutive steps inside the main entrance, so it’s not pram/wheelchair friendly at this spot.
We enjoyed using the gym but were very disappointed to find that the advertised pool was closed (and had been for many months).
The apartment location is excellent, it’s in the free zone for trams, there are heaps of places to eat at the doorstep, and there is an Aldi supermarket just down Franklin St.
The supplied WiFi was excellent and we were also able to cast shows to the television which was handy.
We would definitely stay again, and would give it 5 stars if the pool was available (as this had been a reason for choosing this accommodation).
