The design of the building has cleverly incorporated the particular angles & slants of walls & corners to ensure that no one else in the other units can see their neighbours either from inside or from the private balcony Suits me for the time being. The cleaning staff are very helpful & friendly. A couple of standard items broke in the unit as in the hairdryer & the kettle but thats to be expected when these items are constantly used by ever ##### Rachel Stayed 8 nights in May 2025 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Wayne Nov 16, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Apartment was very tidy and plenty of room and would probably stay there again. The only issues were that the shower constantly dribbled all night (needs new washer). Car parking was good the first night. Someone took our park the second night.

With 3 young kids we felt we had no option but to stay. All the parking was full so we couldnt park near our room. All could be forgiven with a good nights sleep. Unfortunately there was someone banging on doors and yelling all night frightening my kids and keeping us awake. The only positives was that check in and out was easy and all information was sent via text. ##### Jessica Stayed 1 night in Feb 2026 Verified ### 2/10 Terrible #### Yu-Ming Jan 3, 2026 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities The place wasn’t cleaned.
