Well located apartment with great style and design and lovely views of the botanical gardens. The apartment is spacious, clean and light and surprisingly cool even without running the air conditioning. It's perfect to walk into the old part of the town and has plenty of facilities near by and is well serviced by local bus routes - the number 95 takes you all the way to the port via the aquarium and science center.
Kitchen equipment is basic but there's all you need for a few days and with so many places to eat nearby, it's unlikely you'll cook much anyway! My only gripe would be the master bedroom bed isn't that comfy (lumpy and perhaps seen better days) but that's a personal preference perhaps and wouldn't stop be staying here again. We didn't get to meet the host but communication was swift and check in/out straightforward.
