Unfortunately our stay at this property was not enjoyable. I don't know whether it's something about crime in the local area, break-ins or what, but the security aspects felt pretty over the top. Every communication contained a series of warnings about everything from their use of facial recognition software to dire threats around not holding parties on the premises. On entry there is a huge bank of screens in the foyer showing the angles of their many CCTV cameras. There were at least four separate PIN codes (room, front door, external garage, internal garage) to get access to different areas of the property.
Given all this security we were disappointed to find that the parking spot we'd booked and paid for ($20 per night) was not available - there seem to be owners in the building as well and the garage is full of stuff. Whilst we were there we saw multiple cars competing for the one available spot. So notwithstanding all the security we ended up parking on the street down the block and having to carry all the bags for our family to and from the apartment.
The apartment itself is clean, relatively new and modern, albeit the sofa bed was busted and two of the towel rails were broken off the walls. The whole vibe had a pretty sterile feel to it though which when combined with the OTT security made our kids feel a bit uneasy.
This might be fine for some people, but we were hoping for 'homely' and got 'fortress.' Just be aware of this when booking and you'll be fine.
