This flat is in a good location for the Royal Children's and Royal Melbourne Hospitals,l. Public transport access is very easy and it's close to many major roads with good road access to most parts of Melbourne. The flat is in a really interesting building and it could be charming.
However, some amenities did not function very well (including the shower head) or were broken (the dishwasher). The television did not receive SBS or Channel 7, which was a problem for a trip to Melbourne during the Boxing Day Test. Shyam responded quickly and politely, but could not fix any issues during the period of our stay.
The flat is generally clean, but the tired paintwork etc means that it feels a little grimy around the light switches, skirting boards and windowsills.
The beds were comfortable and the 2 bedrooms were spacious for a small flat. The kitchen and equipment is basic but functional. This is all fine for the price. Air conditioning is only in the living room, but the flat stayed cool even on hot days. Apart from a bit of traffic noise as you'd expect on a main road, it was really quiet. Neighbours encountered in the building were quiet but friendly.
Small things weren't quite right. For example, the towels didn't really dry very well.
The accessibility from the car park is awkward, with heavy doors and a few steps, so if your stay is related to the hospital but you also need car access, you might need to think about that. Access from the street is easy and flat.
