Clean and seems to be a hotel room and area where the room was
Maybe too noisy outside being on the cbd the cleaning camion was really annoying

Location, shower!!!, (best shower ever), laundry room so well organised, kitchen very well equipped and of course the lovely staff :)
More hooks for clothing would be nice, plug beside long mirror would be good, and usb type plug would be good also. But honestly what a super super place to stay, we lovvvvvved it!
