Starting with the positives, the condo is large, has a decent amount of natural light, is very well located and has parking which is a rare find.
We had a bit of an issue at check in as the lock box was broken. The host was pretty quick to respond and the issue was resolved in about an hour.
As for the negatives, the condo building has a very strange, unappealing smell to it, which is immediately apparent as you walk into the lobby. The smell carries through to the hallways, but not really into the condo itself.
The condo is a little dated on the first level where the bedrooms are. The carpets in the bedrooms are dark, stained and a bit musty.. you don’t really get a great vibe or welcoming feeling as you first enter the space. Fortunately the upstairs is a bit more current/modern and not carpeted.
Overall, the condo served its purpose for my short stay in Melbourne, but I would not choose to stay here again.
