My boyfriend and I stayed at S&S's place for three nights over Cup Weekend. Walking into the studio apartment, you automatically get a sense of style and sophistication. The plants around the apartment are a lovely touch. The view over Melbourne is quite nice too.
The apartment is well stocked and roomy, so we didn't feel like we couldn't spend time in the apartment. Getting into the building is slightly cumbersome as you have to pass through a few security doors and wait for busy lifts, but the close proximity to Southern Cross Station kind of made up for it. It's located in the Free Tram Zone too so interstate or international customers don't need to worry about travel expenses.
The only down side of the entire trip was the wifi. The username provided by the host does not exist as a viable wifi source. We actually had to check whether the password worked with a few different available wifi sources that kind of had a similar name to the router brand. Eventually, after two days, we found a match. Rather different username but the password worked at least.
Unfortunately, the wifi was pretty weak. We often couldn't use it at the same time. Not really sure it was worth the trouble of figuring it out.
Overall, our stay at S&S's place was pleasant because it suited our needs for that particular weekend. For the price we paid, it was worth it. But only if you have your own internet access or great patience. If you're looking for a nice place to stay while you spend most of your time out exploring Melbourne, this is the perfect place for you.
