Amazing view from balcony over the city. We stayed Friday Oct 13 checked out Monday Oct 16. On Sunday morning seen hot air balloons from the balcony. Very easy to find we arrived via skybus, building is directly across street from southern cross station just walk across street. Grocery store at southern cross station as well. Found awesome lane art work around corner just past Ibis hotel look down the lane/Alley. It was better than Hoiser!! We also did an advance booking with Gowest tours that one of their pick up locations is the Ibis hotel right around the corner literally was a 1 minute walk. Did an all day tour to the great ocean road and seen roos, Koalas, birds in the wild. We walked literally everywhere from the apartment to all the popular tourist sites in a day ! Did not use the free tram service .A long day but very fun. Host has awesome recommendations we went to the Arbory right on the water great views. Go to the outside casino for the fire show every hour starting at 7 pm it's free it warmed us up on a cool evening walk. We also seen fireworks over Melbourne Saturday at southbank, street performers, the happening area for sure with lots of restaurants and,bars all with great views. Apartment was very quiet and relaxing did not hear anyone. Lifts were fast, secure building. We seen the gym and pool but did not have time to use with our short stay. Both looked very nice. Great communication with host and friend Lina who greeted us upon arrival.
