Guest Reviews
- Benjamin (1/5): Don’t do it 🚨Warning! - Nothing. They advertise a nice apartment with sliding glass doors, decent furnishings and a balcony and then they give you a completely different apartment on the ground floor with tiny jail-style windows that don’t open. The apartments very dark (again nothing like photos) and very loud, especially at night you can hear everything and everyone walking and driving past. It’s a complete con, please do not risk staying here unless you’re happy with paying a large amount of money for a jail style apartment. The only commonality to the list is the square footage, nothing else is the same at all! Check other reviews the also mention this!! Don’t do it
- Margot (10/5): - Great location- well equipped and comfortable. Nothing
- Melanie (9/5): Over all it was very close to St Vincent’s Private Hospitalwhere my husband was staying! - We enjoyed our stay in unit 2.
The unit was very clean, spacious and well equipped and maintained. It was walking distance to restaurants, supermarkets, cafes and St Vincent’s Private Hospital. Our biggest issue was the wifi and the help desk! (The login and password for the wifi was incorrect)
I called for assistance for 3 days (up to 6 calls per day) leaving voice messages and sending emails and nobody would respond. I finally got through on day 4 and asked for a manager because it was unacceptable and our stay was for 10 nights so we needed wifi for the laptop (and TV) immediately.
Finally we got help.
The other issue was there are no blockout blinds so it is extremely bright at night.
- Anne (8/5): Great location, unit as expected very comfortable. -
- Makpal (1/5): - Location The stay was not great from the start.
They gave us an apartment that didn’t match the pictures at all ,
very small and without a balcony.
There were cockroaches.
It was noisy at night because there’s a bar working right underneath.
Also, when I asked for a late checkout, they refused, saying new guests were coming right after us.
But in the end, I had to sit outside by the door for about two hours ,no cleaning staff ever showed up.
They have no sense of loyalty and never admit their mistakes the service is 0/10.

- Jaz (8/5): I adored this apartment - well designed and very comfortable, amazing location. Would have loved to have stayed longer i - Beautifully designed, clean and comfortable. Aircon / heating, great shower. Relatively quiet given the location. Very comfortable bed and linen.
Useful touches like bottle of olive oil for cooking. It was not well set up for work - only 1 PowerPoint in living space and I had to move the table near it to be able to work. (There is actually room there for a little desk).
The blinds are not black out so sleeping was hard - yes I had an eye mask but the body knows! Also not double glazed as in the photo I thought I was booking. Shutters would be very good in that bottom ground floor apartment.
- Maria (10/5): The most luxurious and comfortable stay in a premium location. Outstanding value for money experience. 5 stars!! - Absolutely Everything!! Location is premium and the apartment is newly renovated, great size and the most comfortable. Very stylish and warm, with every single device or utensil you may need to spend a month in a luxurious and comfortable way.. I am so impressed I cannot wait to be back. Staff was so lovely and allowed me for early check in and late check out. It was the dreamiest stay and I would certainly be back. Truly impressed with this property 5 Stars!! Lack of Private Carpark
- Liese (9/5): Very convenient for the hospital and shops. - We were moved from our originally booked room due to Mould. Unit 3 was very cold and no sunshine. We were offered a 15% refund to make up for the smaller room and we moved to in Unit number 7. The best thing was it was a sunny unit and that helped with recovery after surgery. Overall better. the numbers on the letterbox to unlock it were very hard to see. easily moved to wrong position and too small for older eyes to decifer
- David (9/5): Great unit with everything needed to stay for a week. - The property had a full kitchen & laundry which was great. Close to St Vincent’s hospital for myself to walk each day. TV remote was faulty, which made tv watching a little difficult. They did offer to fix it when I reported it. As I wasn’t in the unit during the day, I declined.
Stairs were a little challenging with baggage, I had the top floor.
- Kylie (8/5): Very good - N/a
- Sonya (8/5): Very good - Location was great. Train and buses close by and easy walk into town The shower leaked under the door into the bathroom every time we used the shower. Needs a flange to stop water.
Was very noisy. Street noise as well as loud neighbours and doors in the building.
- Deanna (8/5): Great location. Some issues encountered but would still stay there again. - Great location. Comfortable apartment. No noise issues. Good size apartment for two on a short stay. Very happy to have washing machine and dryer. Issues accessing apartment with both code and key fob. Apartment smelt quite musty had to run a/c even when not in apartment.
- Karen (8/5): Very good -
- Peter (7/5): Good - Location Lack of parking
- Madison (9/5): Superb -
- Kwak (8/5): Very good -
- Joseph (9/5): Superb -
- Agnieszka (10/5): Exceptional - All was perfect! Nothing
- Louise (8/5): Very good - Design and decor of the apartment Noise - very noisey apartment as no soundproofing of old or new windows. Car and people traffic excessive. Had to sleep with ear plugs(and I am hearing impaired). I should have been given more information about check in and the very steep staircase to the room. I wouldn’t stay in this part of the building again.
- Eugenio (8/5): Live like a local in a clean, bright, apartment that is good value . - Great value and in an excellent spot. Lovely sunny balcony that looks over to a church spire and trees.
Laundry in the apartment is handy.
Very clean. Bathroom is nice though a little small . Plenty of storage there though.
Lots of sunshine comes into the living room and bedroom when we stayed in May which is nice. The bedroom was a bit tight when two of us were trying to get dressed but that can be sorted. Would like a longer mirror.
- Dionne (10/5): loved it so much - loved it, wont stay anywhere else now! the dampness sometimes made it smell wet inside the unit
- Berend (8/5): Very likely to return here! - The appartment was well equipped and very clean. Staff was quick to assist when we encountered a little hick-up, adding to an already wonderful experience.
