X-factor: Excellent location close to main street of vibrant, very multi-cultural regional city. Despite a slightly bizarre floorplan which has the far side of the bed some 25 paces from the toilet, I really liked this accommodation, which could easily be used as the very model of a well organised regional hotel. Sold as a one-bedroom unit but really be four rooms — bedroom, bathroom (unfortunately not ensuite), combined lounge/dining area, and effectively a separate galley-style kitchen.
