The apartment is in handy location and the balcony is spacious and comfortable with good views to Collingwood. However, we had quite an uncomfortable summer stay. This is because there is no fan or air con unit in either of the bedrooms. I asked the manager about this and she said to run the air conditioner in the living room to cool the whole apartment. There is quite a long hallway to the bedrooms however, so this wasn’t very effective and means that you have to keep your doors open and don’t have privacy. As Melbourne can get very hot in summer, this is not a good arrangement. We also wanted to open the windows in the bedrooms, however they are locked and there are no keys, so we couldn’t. We asked the manager if we could have the keys but she didn’t get back to us. I can see from previous reviews that other people have asked for the keys previously and this obviously hasn’t been addressed.
The cream coloured rug in the lounge is marked and dirty which is quite off-putting. Apart from this, the beds are comfortable and the kitchen is nice.
