Everything was fine, definitely a bit on the older side but fit our needs. Wasn’t aware that WiFi wasn’t offered in the unit, so beware of that if you need to not use cellular
Great location
Nice and close to everything
Our apartment was great could use a little updating but very comfortable
Wifi would have been good
All in all a great spot to stay

Thread worn carpet on stairs, the smell of cigarettes, sweat stained lounge and 20 years overdue for a reno. This accommodation was not worth the high price. The only thing it had going for it was the waterfront outlook.
