“I think the apartment's layout-a spacious open plan lounge, dining, and kitchenette area with an additional single bed, plus a separate bedroom featuring a queen and another single bed-makes it quite versatile. Its proximity to the Esplanade is a definite plus, enhancing its appeal despite the somewhat dated bathrooms; the hot shower, however, is a welcome feature.”
