"The Apartment was actually a nice spacious unit. Large bathroom with Spa and washer and dryer facilities. Shower screen needs the limestone residue cleaned. The beds were good, extra pillows and blankets stored in the wardrobe was appreciated. Clean kitchen and with full facilities. Ceiling fan in main bedroom overdue to clean the fan blades. Power overloaded and lost power in the evening, office open on Saturdays until 7pm noted in the booklet, office closed at 6.50pm when requested assistance about the power outage. Staff member requested through intercom how to put the power back on, but that should not be the customer's responsibility. Customer service I would rate one star."
