I was happily surprised by the location of this apt. I used to live in melbourne and thought that Spencer St was a bit of a no-man’s land. But now there is a lot of foot traffic, a small food market in Southern Cross train station. I arrived from overseas and took the bus to Southern Cross Station, very grateful for clear instructions on where and how to self-check-in. Even fuzzy jet-lagged brain, I was able to get in with ease and the apt was close to the station. Views from the apt are great. Also glad to have washing machine- I was traveling light and needed to wash before heading on next leg of the trip.
