The bathroom was great in the fact there was a nice long beautiful top along the length of the room where there was great room for your toiletries. The water pressure was very low. Under the shower curtain water leaked over most of the room but it was very clean. Good little kitchenette. I didn't feel very safe in this area of town

Everything nice and clean, very spacious rooms . But 24/7 construction work ongoing at the new stadium site next door made sleep impossible. No fault of the apartment owner, however Gommint should pay them and their guests monetary compensation for Loss of sleep and business while this shitfight continues

Easy no-fuss, check-in and check out, thank you for letting us check-in so much earlier ahead of time. Cleaning and refilling necessities were given utmost attention; only sad thing is so much construction is happening around this place which blocks off some roads around this wonderful place currently so hope it gets better soon for you guys. Good job on keeping up.

Great stay, great location.
Very good stay. Clean. Surprisingly quiet for a busy road. Comfortable and spacious room with all we needed. The shower was small but acceptable. The only slight issue was lack of water pressure. We would very happily stay here again and appreciate the free and convenient parking. Great location for walking to the centre of the city - restaurants, cafes, bars and shops within a few minutes walk.
