Overall, it was a good stay, and I enjoyed the place a lot, particularly the view! I thought the amenities were quite good also and I really appreciated the slightly later check out that the host kindly gave me. The location was prime and close to everything within Melbourne CBD. There were a few hiccups along my stay including the sudden realisation that the WIFI was not working. Upon trying to troubleshoot with the router there was no success and communication by the hosts delegate was not very prompt and timely sometimes taking a whole day to get back to me. After 2 days within my stay they were able to thankfully organise a replacement pocket wifi which worked great and I was very appreciative of this gesture however it would have been great to have this organised much sooner as this ultimately impacted my capacity to work and 4G/5G signal is quite weak in the building.
In terms of the apartment itself, it was clean upon arrival and has a very nice ambiance with warm white lighting and great amenities. The spacious shower makes up for the fact that there is no bathtub. In terms of sleeping, If you are someone that prefers firmer pillows, I would strongly recommend bringing your own if you stay at this place as the pillows provided were all extremely soft goose-down pillows with minimal support for your head and neck if you are a side sleeper or someone that sleeps on their back. The mattress was also quite mediocre and stiff and did not provide much support. However if you are a non-fussy sleeper it should not be much of an issue, although judging on the price I paid I did expect better quality pillows and bed in general.
There are some structural aspects of the place that can also be improved such as the fact that the bathroom door not closing and locking properly, the bathroom mirrors being much too close to your face when you need to be close to the sink i.e when brushing your teeth, the bedroom roller blinds which were quite damaged and one set being almost not usable as it would constantly get jammed, the bedroom bed-side table drawers were also falling apart due to not being hinged properly as well as the rangehood in the kitchen which had a broken light making it challenging to see what you are cooking at night. I also recommended to the host to consider having a small portable washing hanger that guests can take out and use as opposed to using the tumble dryer for drying clothes. Apart from the aforementioned, I still enjoyed my stay and leveraged on the positive aspects of what the apartment had to offer!
