We enjoyed our stay at Kassie Studios, its clear that attention to detail has been considered regarding making your stay pleasant. The studio was stocked up with tea/coffee/sugar/salt/pepper - all the things you don't realise you need until you need them!
Location is great, walking distance to the Waterfront and lots of useful ammentities near the apartment (supermarket, restaurants, pharmacy, cafes). The area and the apartments felt very safe.
We asked the hosts to collect us from the airport, this was a great induction to the area. We got given a historical background and got pointed to key sights. I would recommend this even if its slightly more expensive that a pre-booked taxi.
Tip: pop across the road to the Big Blue backpackers hostel. These guys have the best priced tours/packages etc and Kumi is very helpful! They offer the same stuff everyone else is selling but at a much more reasonable rate.
Negatives:
- Construction RIGHT outside the apartment, that starts early morning (finishes by 5pm)
- The pay-as-you-go WiFi is very poor, constantly disconnecting or very slow
