Travelled with partner
Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Pros: Excellent location right beside the lively Esplanade restaurant strip. Short walk to the night market. Large Woolworths supermarket a few blocks away. Fantastic views across the bay. Clean and well cared for apartment. Cons: Communication was poor. I was advised instructions would arrive 2pm the day before. When I hadn't received them by 8pm I rang - and got an answering machine. Instructions finally turned up10am on the day of arrival (I starting to think I'd been scammed and was looking into motel accommodation for the night.) We didn't need that sort of stress starting a vacation. The bedroom curtains do not do much to stop the morning light and the bedrooms face the rising sun. Bring an eyemask. The basement carpark is a bit of an obstacle course with large yellow pillars all over the place. Don't skimp on car insurance.
