- "The property was well maintained, clean and easy access through keypads, saves on having to ask for additional keys for all parties." - "Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved how central the apartment was. We parked our car when we arrived and didn’t use it again until we left. We were able to walk to Cataract Gorge, the museum, to take a cruise and to eat out. The apartment was spacious and comfortable. I thought the apartment was nicer than the photos show. I liked the features of an older building such as high ceilings, ceiling roses ... The kitchen was only suitable for simple cooking but fine to cook up breakfast or a one pot lunch. We ate out at night since we were surrounded by restaurants. We appreciated the pod coffee and washing machine/dryer (including detergent). It was quite cold when we stayed but the rooms have plug in electric heaters which kept the living room and bedroom nice and warm and it had a reverse cycle air conditioner in the passage. It was still cold in the kitchen in the evening but we only used it briefly at that time so it was not a problem. I purchased some nice warm slippers and that made it much more comfortable. Overall we felt comfortable and enjoyed our stay. "
