    I had the best stay at Icon. I liked the incredible view, the gym, the central location, the convenient store and buffet restaurant in the building, great wifi, the washing machine in the appartment. But what I really loved is the team, these crew genuinely cares for you and to ensure you have the best time during you stay. I saw them going above and beyond to make sure I’d get everything I need. It felt like renting an apartment in a CBD with charm of a home stay. Perfect place to go working remotely
