10/10 Excellent
"Booked this place well in advance for the labour long weekend so got a great price. Apartment was huge and spacious and well worth it for the price. Had everything you need plus some with a full kitchen and laundry. Prob the only thing I could fault is that there was a smell in the apartment that could smell as soon as walked in. I assume it was prob from previous people staying cooking curry or something. Tried to air it while was there but smell still retained for the 2 nights I was there. Would stay again. :)"
