Convenient position to attend a family gathering. Easy parking and spacious. Easy to book and reasonable rates for the room. Though a little dated, it was warm, comfortable and all you need for a short stay. Clean and good ventilation, everything you need. Friendly welcome and quiet setting. Great value and especially helpful if you have a car (there can be trouble finding car park if staying in city centre).

We spent 4 nights in a 1-bedroom unit which was comfortable enough for our needs. Everything is a bit dated but functional., & we were able to heat meals, do laundry & sleep well. Access to & from everywhere we wanted to go was easy, especially once we worked outa "back route" to Mcfaddens Street!

Difficult to provide a wholesome review, as we arrived after hours and left first thing in the morning. Host was very accommodating with late check-in, hassle free thru lock box. Host happened to be still up and welcomed us with Wifi password :) Room was nice, spacious and very clean. All up, definitely accommodation I can recommend. Thanks
