Location and simplicity! My stay here was wonderful and the two things I always look for are first, location in relation to everything...i.e., close to the city, close to shops and hotels and also close to Port Melbourne and St Kilda beach. Secondly, the thing I notice is simplicity. Ease of checking and also ease of getting to and from everywhere I needed to go. Lots of cabs and public transport around. Uber was always within 4 minutes of whenever I booked. Grocery store next door if you need supplies. I was in town for work but was able to see everything I wanted to quite easily in my spare time due to these two factors. Literally right next door to the South Melbourne Markets, which is a real treat if you haven't been before. They're open on Wednesday and Friday-Sunday. You can take your time and get lost in there, as there's something for everyone. Not to mention the food and coffee there is next level!!
Siobhan was extremely helpful and easy going and I never really needed much extra assistance from her as everything was provided. Will be staying there again on my next trip down.
