pros... very convenient short stay cbd accomodation. 2 minute walk from skybus airport shuttle terminal, which also has very handy luggage storage. coles supermarket 1 block away. apartment itself was very clean & modern. comfy bed, great shower, all kitchen essentials, very effective heating/air-conditioning. easy check-in. great communication. responded to text messages almost immediately. lots of eating options on surrounding blocks, including one of my favourite melbourne restaurants, higher ground, just around the corner.
cons... the sauna is actually in the adjacent building & only accessible via a lengthy walk through a car park, so didn’t end up using it even though it was one of the ressons i had chosen to stay there. no view from the apartment, basically looking straight at other apartment blocks, so not a lot of sunlight in the morning (which may be a ‘pro’ for those wanting to sleep in!). was mostly very quiet in the apartment at night, except for the last 2 nights when the noise from the floor above was enough to wake me up. a bunch of women in high heels came home late & i could hear every step as they stomped about, but it didn’t go on for too long.
overall an easy, comfortable & convenient option for the cbd. would recommend.
