The apt was located in a funky part of Melbourne where there are a lot of restaurants and bars. It was nice to be able to walk around and not have to worry about transportation when we went out for dinner. It is also close to public transportation so we were able to to go to other parts of Melbourne and to/from the airport with no problem. The apt was new and updated. Looks much better on the inside then it does on the outside. The apt is on the ground level so you do hear people walking outside and construction workers during the day. If you are a light sleeper then I would recommending playing some white noise or bring ear plugs. Overall it it didn't bother us and we would definitely recommend this place to our friends when they go to Melbourne.
