My wife and I stayed here for 6 nights on our Melbourne trip and really enjoyed this place. The location is great as you can easily walk to the CBD in 45-60min as well as its good for going for a run along the waterfront from the Tasmanian Ferry pier all the way to St. Kilda and beyond. There are plenty of cafes and eateries close by too. The views from the apartment were really nice as its located on the top floor and you can enjoy the entire Melbourne Skyline by day and night. The apartment is at the end of the corridor and on the top floor (5), it was very quiet all 6 nights we were there, so we loved that aspect of it too.
The apartment itself was fairly clean and well equipped. There were a few things that we found need improvement as attention to detail was lacking in some areas:
- Broken toilet seat
- No dishwashing liquid
- No tablets for dishwasher
- Half broken kitchen sink tap
- No battery in the remote for the aircon
- some buttons on the TV remote not working
Other things that should be improved:
- The fact that there is only one key to the apartment provided is very cumbersome when the guests don't always go out together because you always have to think how, where and when to meet up so that the other person can get back into the building. So a second key should really be left in the apartment for greater convenience.
- Also found it should be clearly stated that the lock box is actually at ground level. Naturally one would expect the lock box be mounted somewhere between 1-2 meters height, so it took a bit of time to find the lockbox that was actually on the ground.
Overall, it is a great place to stay and if the owner/manager of the place can put a bit more effort and attention to the little things I mentioned above then this will be a true 5 star place.
That aside - I would happily stay there again on my next trip to Melbourne. Its a great apartment.
