Start with the pro: This apartment is a great location which is just outside Southcross train station. very convenient for travellers who without a car. Like many other guests have mentioned, the view is very nice, this is the main reason I book this apartment and I am not disappointed.WIFI has good speed and decorations are nice and fit.
Now with the con: Clearly it is one of the apartments managed by a professional company instead of the individual owner. (Which is fine), However, when I search to book, (I book last minute for same day stay)the price showing online is around $160 (including cleaning and service fee) for 1 night. I ask the host a few questions like parking(Cost $30 a day which to me is acceptable), check-in time before I made the booking. When I just decided to book the stay, I found the host company immediately increase the rate to around $195 (including cleaning and service fee) a night. To me, even the price is still not expensive, but it feels like a very cheap behaviour. If you set up a last-minute price to attract people to fulfil the night, don't act like a child by increasing the price when someone becomes interested in booking. I booked it anywhere due to the time limit. But I would not book it if there is another similar listing even at a higher rate.
2nd, the apartment can be very noisy. It is directly outside the train station so that you will hear lots of noise if you keep the sliding door opened. Also, the exhaust fan in the double bedroom cannot be turned off in the evening so that I am suffering from the fan noise.(trust me, I tried everything to turn it off, it off for a while but automatically turn on during my sleep )
The double bed is very soft so that I did not feel very comfortable, but it may be a personal preference. However the fitted bed sheet on my double bed has a massive mark on it, I am not sure if it is the stain or something else. The cleaner cover it with pillows but I see it anyway. The apartment is clean in general, but not in details. Most of the wall has marks on them need some touch. The towel hanger in the bathroom almost about to fall off. There is no single light above the kitchen area so that it remains dark in the evening.
In general, this is a good apartment in a good location with great view. Just need some simple touch could be nicer. I must the say the host company is professional as they respond to questions quickly, but they take actions to maximum profit quickly as well. With some nice touch. It can be a lot more better.
