What a great apartment! I was there on a business trip, but my mother came with out of curiosity, so the stay was a bit of a mixed bag and this apartment catered for all our needs easily. It is thoughtfully equipped and we never wished we had anything more than what was provided (that's saying something for a creature of habit like me, who have strong preferences for proper mugs and kettle, good bathroom, etc). There are cooling and heating options, good wifi, iron & ironing board, proper (!) hair dryer, washing machine, dryer, stocked pantry with cooking basics (salt, pepper, tea, olive oil), respectable pots, pans, cutlery, glasses, plates, etc.

Location is out of this world - SO close to everything and convenient even for my mother who normally isn't confident walking around by herself in a new city. Great little Colombian cafe just downstairs, Lucy Liu around the corner does trendy fab pan Asian food, the famous MoVida is under 5 minutes walk away (BOOK!), Ikkoryu Fukuoka Ramen 5 minutes away is delicious, Nando's is also 5 minutes away, and a few minutes on the other side is an IGA Express, 6 minutes to Flinders St. Station & Tourist Info Centre, 7 minutes to Yarra Walk, 12 minutes to NGV, right across from a tram stop (#35, 70, 75, I think).

Booking was super easy with instant confirmation. Check in and check out processes are easy. Rodger greeted us upon arrival and showed us everything. Prior to arrival, he got in touch and was happy to provide any information I needed. Building is nice and secure, despite its very central location. Neighbours are so quiet, so no worries there. There is a small lift (huge help with our luggage!), though there are stairs as well.

One note though, we arrived during peak traffic (late afternoon, early evening) and our cab struggled to find a place to pull in because he missed the little lane. Best to try to see if they can pull into Oliver Lane and unload there.

HIGHLY recommend. Would stay again. Thank you, Rodger!
