we stay at Sam's because we were arriving late to Melbourne and it is close to the airport. we took an Uber and in less than 8 minutes we were in the apartment.
communication with Sam is easy and he gives you clear instructions on how to find the apartment and do the check in. it went smoothly and easy.
I'll write the pros and cons about this place, hope it helps:
pros:
- close to the airport (and in our case, close to apex where we were taking out car the next day) around 5 minutes in Uber or 25 walking.
- easy check in, no problem arriving late
- free drinks and snacks.
- the bed is comfy
cons:
- first thing we see when we arrive is ants, everywhere! in the room, in the bathroom, in the shower. being that late and tired, we felt disappointed. but we used the repellent that it is by the door and in 5 minutes they were gone. we didn't see more the time we were there.
- the walls are very thin ! at 6 in the morning they were already kids shouting and a family leaving next door. it is annoying after a long flight and a late night.
- the apartment could be a bit cleaner
- even if it is amazing to have drinks and we are thankful for that, the fridge wasn't working so all drinks were warm when we arrived (in the middle of a heat wave, we would have appreciated something cold ).
and I think that's all. enjoy your stay :)
