When we arrived we had to clean the room, floors were dirty and sticky, wash mould off the bathroom wall tiles and ceiling and the sofa was also broken. Once we cleaned and propped up the sofa our stay was great. Best views and position on the Esplanade. Stayed for 4 weeks and would stay again.

It has some wear and tear, but the location is perfect. It has plenty of space, the kitchen even includes a washing machine. The round tub is a nice plus. Cleanliness was the only point I think they could improve, but other than that, I really loved my stay.
Verified review

8/10 Very good

We enjoyed our stay. The location was wonderful. Our room was on 6th floor and had terrific views. The room was spacious and comfortable. The shower is over the bath which isn’t ideal and the lighting in the bathroom is pretty ordinary however all in all we would stay again and would recommend to others.
