Property is in a good location close to eateries. Off street parking is great. Only downside is that some of the units are a bit tired.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The room wasn’t cleaned very well, needed a proper vacuum, paint was all flaking off around bathroom and toilet windows. The sofa bed arm rests felt tacky and grubby. Shower was good with great pressure and volume of hot water. It’s in a great location but looks like it’s just been run on the cheap.
