Lovely views
View was stunning. We were shocked to find out you cant actually use the pool or gym unless you paid a 200 induction fee and spent 2 hours leaning?? really disappointed as it was stated on the main page that the gym and pool could be used. Very misleading information. It is also not mentioned at the time of booking.

Excellent View
This property is in an excellent location with an amazing view from up high in the apartment building. It is sensational at night with all the lights and sprawling city below.
Furniture was comfortable, we used the 2 main bedrooms. Configuration was not shown on the listing, the master was a king bed, and the other bedroom was 2 single beds, it would have been better if that room had a double or queen to accommodate a couple or having an option on booking to have that room made up as one or 2 beds.
There is a small inner room with a double bed, this room has no windows, and we didn't use this room.
There are no opening windows in this apartment so no fresh air, but this is probably normal in high-rise apartments. We did think the exhaust fans in the bathrooms could have been better.
We couldn't seem to use the BBQ area as our keys didn't give us access, which was a shame, we didn't try and use anything else, so not sure if we had access or not.
Certainly would recommend this apartment, and we would certainly stay there again, as it is very handy to walk all around the city with excellent views.
A coffee machine would be a good addition for visitors.
The view and location were fantastic!
Third bedroom was tiny with minimal space around the bed (found it claustrophobic).
Communication with the host was very poor in the lead up to our stay. We were informed days before our arrival of changes to the building regulations which prevented short stay guests from using amenities like the pool and gym.
Hosts catered to our early check in and late check out requests although again not without difficulties in communication.
Other than that apartment was clean and enjoyable!

Amazing views, needs a little maintenance excellent location. Was denied pool access though.
Great family city holiday in a great location. Views were amazing with an excellent location. Only gripe was we were denied access to pool sauna rooms by management of the complex.
