Positive: The location is Central and accessible to workplace and other eateries. So, it was very convenient.
Negative: The WIFI was down for 2 days so my colleague and had to buy local sims which chewed up quickly as we were making conference calls and needed access for work. I guess it was the network connection. Intending to visit again and hoping the fencing and gate is completed by then.
Summary: Loved it.
