Overall - I think this stay is okay but I will not come back - I give it a 3-star rating because of the unpleasant experience I have described in the following. (Please understand it's only one data point based on my experience and feeling; there are still many five-stars reviews for this place)
Pros: Location is convenient with good selections of coffee shops and shopping malls; near high-way; the remodeling work is close to what is shown in the picture, with all the handy appliances.
Cons:
- Noise. This is a corner unit with both bedrooms directly facing the main road. I noticed that there are double windows and closed all of them during the nighttime, but the car noise is just unstoppable. We have stayed here from Monday to Friday and it's the same case every night. Also, the noise continues to late night - I can still hear it at 1am. I am not the tightest sleeper and have to sleep with my headphones on.
- Cleanliness. The apartment is overall clean, just with a weird smell. This part is mainly about the beddings. The beddings seem all white and cleaned but sleeping on them irritates my skin significantly. I got many big red rashes on my body and also on my scalp! They are not only itchy but also hot and red. I am not sure if it's anything related to the bedding but this is the only hypothesis I could have. My friend with me brought her own bedding and she was fine. In the last few days, I have had to sleep on the bath towels and the rash just didn't go away. When I got back home, I took a long, super hot shower and also steam-cleaned all my clothes and belongings. It gradually went away.
- Value. With all the fees, we paid ~ 1800 in total for 5 nights. I noticed that there is a Resident Inn around the corner and with a 1bedroom suite with two Queen + sofa beds, the total charge is ~ 1600 for Jan 3 - Jan 8, 2021 (5 nights) with all the estimated fees. I assume there would be an extra charge of parking, so overall the out-of-pocket should be similar. Of course, you get the two-room privacy and this place may work better for the family, but for us (two girls) we will choose resident inn next time due to the above two points. The apartment is not like the ones in the complex building, where you enter an enclosed hallway after the elevator - from what I see it is more like a Motel , where each door is facing the courtyard with a balustrade on the other side of the hallway.
