CBD Center Gem Modern 1-Bedroom Apt

The Apartment was beautiful

Through Google Maps we reached the exact location mentioned in our email, but even after arriving it was still very difficult to find the CBD Centre Gem Modern Apartment because it was located inside a small lane/gali. We were literally standing at the location but still unable to find the apartment. It was raining heavily, my baby was crying for milk, and as a breastfeeding mother there was nowhere comfortable for me to feed my baby. Although the email mentioned step-by-step instructions for collecting the keys, it did not clearly explain where exactly to get them from or who would provide them. The keys had to be collected from Skittle Lane. When I reached there, everything was closed and I had no idea who to contact or where to ask for the keys. Luckily, after checking the email again, I found a phone number. I called, but it was very difficult to understand the instructions given over the phone. It took another 10 minutes to finally locate the keys. They were locked inside a lockbox hanging on a window, which honestly felt very strange and unprofessional. Meanwhile, my husband spoke with a local resident who mentioned that the apartment building was not meant for short stays, which made us even more confused. When we finally entered the lift, there was also a notice saying the apartments were not for short stays or Airbnb. The apartment itself was beautiful and clean, and I truly appreciate that part. However, the entire check-in experience was extremely stressful, especially while travelling with a baby. Personally, I would not choose this apartment again and would recommend booking accommodation with a proper reception and easier check-in process.

Great little apartment in a fantastic location….walking distance to everything in the CBD and great restaurants and eateries near by. Communication with the hosts was brilliant.

We used the couch for our 3rd guest. Linen was kindly provided, but futon coach not very comfortable.

Great location, clean and tidy. Clear instructions and communication for check in and check out.

We booked this for three people as advertised. Furniture was only for two people. The couch folds down but is not really suitable for a bed for an adult. We expected a proper sofa bed with a mattress.

The location and cleanliness

Lack of comfort. Couch and bed were quite uncomfortable. Dishwasher had a fault which caused it to continue beeping for the first 2 days of our trip until we worked out where the noise was coming from and unplugged from the wall. This kept us up at night and was disruptive.
