Great location

Property is in a great spot close to restaurants and central to everything. The apartment had a few minor issues. Dryer not working, few bathroom fittings missing (towel rack), and the fry pans not washed in cupboard.

Thank you for your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the central location and found the property convenient for exploring the area. We appreciate you pointing out the issues with the dryer, bathroom fittings, and kitchenware. This isn’t the standard we aim to deliver, and we've already scheduled our team to address these concerns. Your comments help us improve, and we hope to have the opportunity to host you again for an even better stay.

A fantastic property. The bathrooms however are in need of minor repairs. Towel rails broken/ missing, shower head leaking and shower could use a regrout to eliminate mould in grout and larger shelf. The bathroom does not reflect a five star property. A great shortage of power points causes a need for a lot of extension cords that are not adequate, messy and need to be hooked up for at least one bedside table…potentially dangerous with lots of power boards and extension cords and a trip hazard. Unfortunately a 5 star property is let down by these points

Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. I’m very glad to hear you found the property fantastic overall. 1. Bathroom repairs – The towel rails, shower head, and regrouting have all been reported to maintenance for prompt attention. 2. Power points and extension cords – This has also been noted for review to ensure a safer and more convenient setup for guests. I truly appreciate you highlighting these areas for improvement — your feedback helps us maintain the high standards we strive for. We’ll make sure these issues are addressed so future stays are even more comfortable.
