The checkin process was a bit strange in that you have to meet with someone instead of your normal lock box arrangement. The building seems to be full of nothing but Airbnb's so it was rush hour when checking in and a bit of a wait in the lift lobby. Once you get into the lift there's a laminated piece of paper aaking you not to throw cigarettes over your balcony- and its then that we realised that this was the exact building that was on fire a few months ago due to the combustible cladding. We would not have stayed there had we known this. Unfortunately most apartment buildings in Melbourne were made with the stuff.
Once we got in, it was time to put our car in the carpark provided. While this was an easy process,the carpark is 100m back up the street and for some stupi reason there is no internal way to get back to the building- you literally have to walk down the street with your things.
The apartment itself was very clean. There were a few little things like no bins in the bathrooms and the tap is about to fall off in the kitchen, but otherwise useable.
It is advertised as have a European laundry- but don't get too excited to use it as both washer and dryer are just full of bedding from the last guests.
This apartment is on the top 43rd floor. I did not expect, for the money we paid, to hear so much noise from trams and traffic below. I barely slept. The blinds on the window are cheap and gaps let all the dawn light in- curtains should have been installed.
This was our first stay in a city airbnb and we won't be doing it again. Not for that price.
A disappointing stay.
