This rental is exactly as advertised. It is well-maintained and clean. The facilities are all practically brand new and in good working order. The washer/dryer combo is very convenient, saving us a lot of suitcase space. The host provides all the essentials, including liquid soap in the shower, the bathroom sink and the kitchen sink, shampoo and conditioner, laundry detergent, a roll of paper towel, two rolls of toilet paper, and a stack of paper napkins, among other things.
This apartment is a few paces away from the Skybus (airport express bus) terminal and Southern Cross train station. It is inside the FreeTram Zone, where one can take the free light rail train to every location in central Melbourne. During our stay, we did not spend a penny on transportation, other than taking Skybus to/from the airport.
There are different kinds of restaurants, coffee shops and supermarkets allover the neighborhood. Looking for food is easy.
The check-in, check-out processes are efficient, with easy-to-follow instructions. Although the check-in time is 3pm, when we told Nick that we would arrive around 9am, he sent one of his staff members to meet us at the lobby of the apartment building to store the luggage for us. When they finished housekeeping at 2pm, Nick texted me immediate to let us check in.
All in all, the host did go out of his way to make our stay enjoyable. And we had a great time staying there for four nights.
I highly recommend Nick’s apartments.
