The apartment is opposite a very good shopping centre and a short walk to the lovely Yarra Riverside walk. A frequent tram service runs into the city from the end of the road so this is a very convenient location. We needed to open the door on very hot days for ventilation, the road noise was louď, the same was true for the outdoor space but happily it was not excessive in the bedroom so sleeping was fine. This was a good value for money flat for our stay during the Australian Open tennis and felt lucky to have the swimming pool and gym facility. The kitchen is well equipped and we had a good meal in a nearby Vietnamese restaurant.
