Very different and novel place to stay. Accomodation was very clean and comfortable. It was great to be able to park free right outside the accommodation on the quiet side road courtesy of the residents pass.
If you are a sports fan you really must stay here. Whether it be Football (the Aussie version), Cricket, Football (the real one - only joking!), Tennis, Netball and who knows what else - all of these are 10 to 15 minutes walk across the road and through the park. We went to our first Footie match at the MCG and really enjoyed it.
Lots of buses, trams and trains nearby. Uber's are a great fall back if you want to get back to base if like us you get a bit lost and tired in the city.
Lots of place to eat and drink nearby too.
