Stayed 6 weeks in this beautiful apartment during my home reno. This place has one of the best view of Melbourne. Even as a local who lived in St Kilda Rd before, the view stunned me when I first walked in. The place is very convenient, walking distance to Fitzroy Rd where a lot of good restaurants and cafes are located. We didn't use public transport, but should anyone need it, it is also at door step. The place got 2 car spaces, which is one of the key reason why we chosen the place. Not many apartments have 2 car spaces. Although, unfortunately like most apartments, you need to park two cars front and back, also the small car need to stuck the nose right under the storage cage so the large car can stay inside the parking lot. The lift is not super busy like some of the city apartments, too. We were there during the 5 day Melbourne lock-down, where the lift is restricted to 2 people only per lift, even that time, I generally waited less than 2 minutes.
The room is modern and stylish, with some Chinese favour touch in deco. As we were there for an extensive period, we bought most essentials with us, but the host did a good job of providing all the essentials that is definitely enough for a short stay.
One thing to be aware of is that the Kitchen only have hot plate stove, which can be slow to heat up and cooling down, don't burn your self after cooking. Also the smoke alarm is very sensitive and I found it very annoying when it keep beeping after I open the oven almost every time. I would say for most people who don't need to cook everyday (un-like us), this shouldn't be an issue.
Oh, there is also a well equipped onsite gym and pool. But hey, the place is 100m away from Albert Park and only 5 mins away from MSAC, so make the better choice.
Last point, if you are staying over weekend, make sure getting up early on Sat, you will see the amazing hot air balloons travel across Albert Park!
