This apartment is well-situated in the downtown Melbourne area. Views are to the west, overlooking the Southern Cross railway station and the Marvel Stadium. You are not blocked by other tall buildings and you can see parts of harbor in the distance, plus a bridge and other interesting things towards SW and NW. You do get some street noise even this high up. There will be light early in the morning, so light sleepers might like earplugs and eye shades. The noise is muted, but seemed surprising for that high up.
The associated parking spot in the garage is very handy and almost the closest spot to the elevator.
It was great to have all the appliances, including DW and W/D. We enjoyed walking in the area to see the centre of Melbourne. AC worked well. If it wasn't for a couple of issues, this would have been a perfect stay.
At check-in we found the bedroom shade broken - or at least dislocated (it rolled all the way down to the floor and was stuck). However, the local contact returned very quickly and fixed it and it worked fine for the balance of our stay. We also found the oven covered in grease inside, including a roasting pan. Again, the local rep returned the next morning and cleaned the oven, so we thought that was good response. We found the sofa to have old stain on it, making it seem unclean. We were left with previous stay sheets and towels running in the dryer, but that was a minor thing.
The owners are absentee and never responded at all to our messages sent via Airbnb communication method. Still don't have any acknowledgement or reply at time of writing this review.
