We flew in and took a bus to the Spencer St Station and were met by Malcolm on Collins St near the apartment entrance. He showed us all of the basics and was engaging and enjoyable. In a short time he left us. The first thing about this apartment is location, location. I can't imagine a better place to be when visiting Melbourne. We were able to walk or take a tram everywhere we wished to go - and we were out quite a lot! The area is full of interesting cafes, restaurants, art galleries, clothes shops and a huge variety of shops. We found the apartment a very good place to rest. The kitchen was quite adequate with a two burner stove, an oven and microwave and a small but adequate fridge. Nearby is a Coles for food and a bottle shop. We are in our early 70s and we found the bed comfortable. The TV was fine but the DVD collection is in need of some editing. One DVD we selected would not play in the region and another broke up and ended before the end of the film. The TV faces a comfy lounge area with a range of books and DVDs. The dining table, a good usable table, is at the end of the bed with two low stools without backs. It is quite adequate but a bit uncomfortable after a while. Over all the decor we found quite enjoyable and we felt immediately at home. The bathroom is excellent with a very good shower. The building is well soundproofed between apartments there is no sound but we were aware of some street noise at night. We live in the country so we are not used to noise at night. In summary the apartment is excellent. The location is excellent. Melbourne is the culture capital of Australia (my opinion) and this apartment is in the midst of much that Melbourne has to offer.
