The apartment was well laid out, showing some wear in places but clean. It was very quiet, even during the NYE fireworks. Beds were comfortable. The building felt very secure, and it has entrances on opposite sides, which is handy. Very conveniently located to the cable car and the Beehive, easy to get to the waterfront, a bit of a walk to Cuba Street but not bad. It's in a business district, so note that in the evenings and on holidays it's pretty dead. Good shopping is available close by, but not as much in the way of food. The view is mostly buildings. I docked a star because the photos don't match - the layout is the same, but with different decor, as if they're photos of a similar apartment on a different level. At first we weren't sure we were in the right place.
