Thought this was a nice place overall. It was about a 10min walk to the mall/nearest subway station. The apartment was quite clean and peaceful. The pool is a nice feature as well. We also enjoyed the lobby social area, that had a coffee machine in the morning, TV, couches and fusball table. And, the staff was very nice and responsive and provided us with a constant supply of water throughout our stay, which was nice to not have to carry that back from the story in the heat. There were a few things we were disappointed with. The first is that we booked this for 5 of us and there were only two queen/double beds and a very small leather sofa that does not fold out to a bed. When I inquired about sleeping arrangements, they offered to bring me a bed for an extra charge which I did not think was appropriate. So, be cautious if you have more than 4 people unless they change the sofa to something that resembles a bed. Second, the units (there were two combined for our stay) were not well stocked with plates, silverware, coffee/tea cup or knives. I think there were maybe 3 or 4 forks, a few plates, a couple butter knives and 4 cups. Not sufficient for guests who wish to have a meal or two in the apartment. Please stock more utensils and plates for future guests and tighten the wobbly tables. Lastly, there was a slight unpleasant odor that came from one of the bathrooms at random moments; we noticed this usually when we came back from being out during the day.
