We spent 12 nigths at this apt in March. It was the only thing we didn't enjoy in Melbourne. Alex was very nice when we first met him but he was dismissive and ineffective about the various problems we had. The apt was furnished with cheap furniture that was in bad condition. The bed was damaged and put together with a knife. We told Alex but after checking he told us the bed is fine. We tried to put it together ourselves. The dining table was shaky, Alex initially told us he will send soneone to repair it but after many days he told us it is not possible to repair it. The state of the furniture wasn't even the worst thing. There was a terrible and intense smell in the apt from the start. It took us a while to realize that it was from the mat in the bathroom that wasn't washed for a long time. In addition the apt was dirty. I cleaned the closets myself and it was clear that they didn't get cleaned for a while. One of the closets was full of dirty linens from previous guests and Alex didn't care about it. We bought towels and linens for our stay since they were in poor condition, old and not very clean. I would never stay at this apt again. Also note that the second bedroom doesn't have windows.
