Stayed 7 nights in Feb 2023 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Heather T. 15 Apr 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great value, comfortable stay, nice amenities Overall, our stay was enjoyable. The beds were comfortable, the showers had great water pressure, the gym facility was very convenient, and the kitchen was adequately stocked. It was also fantastic to have underground, secured parking. The cleanliness wasn't up to my standards, especially in the kitchen. I had to wipe down cupboards, counters and appliances before using them. The unit was also very hot, 27 degrees Celsius when we arrived. The notes in the welcome book said not to use the cooling system, so we opened the balcony doors to cool the place off, bringing it back down to a reasonable 21\. However, within an hour the temperature crept back up to 24\. (Even though we turned the heating off.) Must be because of neighboring units. Also, the bedding was laundered with very high-fragranced detergent/softener. We brought this to the attention of the manager, and she said she would be sure to have the cleaning company change this for future guests. Despite the issues mentioned, it was still an excellent value, a comfortable stay and in a perfect location for our purposes. Everything I mentioned is fairly easy to address, and I wouldn't deter anyone from renting this unit. ##### Heather T.
