Positive: Fantastic location offering great views. Proximity to a lot of restaurants and cafes. Proximity to the wharf. The ensuite bathroom was massive!
Negative: Temperature control was poor. The living space was drafty, but the bed had electric blankets with limited temperature control options. Rooms were pretty small would have been good to have a coat stand..
