Basic place to stay if you prefer to be in the business district of Melbourne. The building is old and the outside architecture offers some charm. The unit itself has a more modern layout and essential amenities are provided. Portable air conditioner is used to cool the space and requires the vent to be placed in the open window, using the weight of the window to keep it in place. There is also a ceiling fan and a portable fan.
Check-in requires obtaining a key from a lockbox via a code from Airbnb site “check-in instructions” to get into the building. The unit itself has a separate code lock where you place your hand on the door sensor and then enter a code provided in the check-in instructions. Be sure to copy the lockbox code because after you’ve checked out, you won’t be able to access the check-in instructions on Airbnb site.
The space is in a central location near shops, restaurants etc in Melbourne which was the most positive aspect for our needs.
