surprising comfort in a central spot

great location comfortable walk effective air conditioning summer season

the location worked very well. i could easily walk to town hall in about five minutes, and i enjoyed being close to chinatown. darling harbour attractions were also within a comfortable ten-minute walk. the air conditioning was super effective, especially during the summer heat.

i noticed a slight water damage on the inside of the lower bathroom door.
