OK, I find myself needing to say this over and over again. This place cost $40.00. At that price it is simply a great value. It was clean, it was neat, there is a kitchen, it is not an amazing kitchen, but it is a kitchen. It is very convenient to a variety of bus lines and the tram. The view out the window over the park is fabulous. People want the Balmoral, but want to pay $40.00. People, let me remind you that Adam Smith was from Edinburgh. You get what you pay for. In my view, I got rather more than I paid. I was perfectly pleased the whole time.
