No.8 Waterloo Apartments
Check-in was super easy. I was travelling on my own (female) for work, and I did feel safe. The apartment was a decent level of cleanliness, and very spacious for what I paid. Excellent to have a little kitchen and space to sit - rather than just a cramped bedroom. I would definitely stay again.
