adequate stay

extraordinary view thoughtful amenities noisy air conditioning faulty shower drain

the apartment was located on the 47th floor. it had an extraordinary view of the skyscrapers. the essentials in the kitchen and the toiletries were thoughtfully provided..

the air conditioning unit was noisy. it vibrated against the bedroom wall even on a low setting. the shower drain did not work properly causing a slippery bathroom floor.

fantastic location, good amenities

great location excellent view

i appreciate the excellent location near southern cross station, it has many tram stops. a tram stop is right in front of the building, very convenient. the view from the 35th floor was beautiful, so bright and open.

the balcony door had big tape over it, i think it was broken. it was advertised as a balcony unit, i was disappointed in the condition of the door. it needs some attention.

The location was prime. It allowed simple access to the city center. my room, situated on a high floor, gave expansive views. the provision of a washer and dryer in the apartment aided convenience.

The bathroom drainage was slow, water pooled after each shower. It was a slight inconvenience though.
