The carpets desperately need a shampoo. A few more drinking glasses would be useful. The microwave seems like a hazard with lots of exposed rust inside and there are no small sharp knives, just 3 really large serrated knives. Just could be better equipped.

Holborn Central is in a good location with a variety of restaurants and a cinema with a15 minute walk to Woolworths and the mail. Our two bedroom apartment was a decent size and quiet.
The room was very run down and dirty. The showers had mildew. You could hardly see our the windows. There was several things broken the door to the washing machine and dryer, broken and missing remotes for the air conditioning.
The couch was very small and uncomfortable. The beds medium comfort.
There a very small gym which smelt Misty and of sweat and had not water cooler or towels.
There is secure underground parking and the best thing was the pool.
With a bit of tlc and repair it could have been a good unit but servicing is lacking.
