"Very bad experience with the poor management team."

1.0

Absolutely not recommended due to below reason: 1. There are 3% charge by using credit card. And you have to pay for it since booking will not charge the fee. You have to pay it onsite. 2. The apartment photo on the booking web is inductive. It is actually apartment A and apartment B. You only booked half of the photo. 3. The shower is leaking therefore you can’t enjoy the bath with perfect water pressure. 4. The most important thing. Don’t touch anything as you may get extra charge. There is a folding bed in the room we used it as we preferred to sleep separately for better relaxation. The management team initially charged $50 with excuse that extra person added, after we clarified there was no extra person, the new excuse was extra clean work needed. However there was no any guidance that the bed cannot be used. What a shame excuse for the $50! 5. There is no any seasoning except an empty, cold apartment. I paid nearly extra $100 for those traps. Nice work!

Easy location to walk to the central shops/lake. Nice outdoor deck area.

The pillows were a tad high for me, but I understand that this is not a five-star hotel. There is no fencing, and the place is next to a laundry so you will expect a few passersby if you are having dinner at the place. The fencing issue may be to do with building restrictions as other places around the neighbourhood are similar with no fencing.
