I truely wasn't expecting it to be as nice as it was, the photos really don't do it justice. It was such a comfortable and spacious studio and all the little touches definitely made me feel right at home. It had everything you could need and more, a usable kitchen area, newly renovated bathroom and a heated blanket (not that I needed it thanks to the air conditioner). It was nice and close to Merivale Mall, and a little bit of a walk to the CBD but there was also a bus just up the road. It is a great escape for the solo traveller, for the same price as some private rooms in Backpackers but with your own bathroom and kitchen. Margaret was also lovely and friendly without being intrusive. I would highly recommend this to anyone.
