Clean and tidy apartment. Friendly and easy check in. Had to wait a while for lift as only one working. Paid tram at the door or walk two blocks to the free tram zone. One block walk to supermarket. Recommend if on a budget.

Look, you get what you pay for. Is it clean and updated? No. Is it well priced, in a great location (tram stop out front, little Ezy marts, bottle shop all close by), yes. Communication was great. Easy to get to the onsite parking for $25 a night. Rooms really do need a deep clean and broken furniture replaced.
