Checkin process was very fast and easy, tabitha did a overview of the amenities and a brief of the surroundings. Apartment was definitely very cosy and child friendly, there's enough toys and books and DVDs to keep my kids entertained even for as long as months. Walking to king cross was about 10-15 mins and 20-30mins walk to Botanic gardens that can link to Opera house. Good stay and definitely no regrets.
