A perfect home base 2 explore Melbourne. Alex waited n greeted us at apartment despite our uncertain timing as we were coming from marysville n had 2 return a rented car. It's not advisable 2 drive in Melbourne city itself as parking n till charges r exorbitant. Alex so kindly provided us w myki cards 4 use on buses, trams n trains. Apartment is on 40th floor so u get breathtaking view as far as docklands n the river n a sweeping view of city regardless of day n night. It is right behind QVM, n I found a shortcut there, as opposed 2 route suggested by Google map, that's only about 3min walk away. Free tram stop is about 5min walk away, at Melbourne central. Bike sharing is a wonderful initiative by Melbourne municipal, n the nearest docking station is also about 3-5min walk away at flagship gardens where there's an amazing playground 4 kids too. Once we walked from southern cross station which took us only 25min. Apartment is also only 5min walk 2 st Francis Catholic Church n Chinatown, as well as a few major shopping centre. There r a variety of supermarkets ranging from Asian n Coles within 3min walk away. N if u prefer not 2 cook, eateries, restaurant, cafe, n even a 24hours pie face cafe r all within 3 min walk. This's a very new apartment n I'd say location is number 1. Whatever u need at home 4 a comfortable stay is provided by Alex conscientiously. Bathroom all standard toiletries n more like toothpaste, dental floss, hairdryer, comb, body lotion, sunblock, makeup remover, cotton buds, facial cotton pads, etc etc. Kitchen has more than u expect, including Nespresso coffee capsules n cream foamer, quality tea, cup noodles, rice, pasta, sauces, olive oil, soy sauce, pepper grinder, salt grinder. Alex also provided half dozen cage free eggs n carton of milk n bottle of drink in fridge. Just like home! A very good frying pan, the Korean stone type where oil is not required at all. There's also a built in oven n dish washer which we didn't use. From where we come from, we prefer our cutleries cold. Room has an extremely comfortable bed, think it could b Simmons but not sure. There's also extra pillows n comforter in d wardrobe in case someone sleeps on sofa bed. Bed sheet is extremely comfortable n so r pillows. Aka 5 star hotel linens n bed. In wardrobe, there's more than enough clothes hanger, ironing board n clothes drying rack in case u prefer not to use his borsch dryer. By the way, both borsch washer n dryer is efficient enough to handle delicates n wool. Quality laundry detergent n softerner was also provided. Ace! Apartment is in a quiet environment just a few steps from d hustle n bustle of city life. A very safe location w a conceirge at d lobby. Look no more if u r seeking a home away from...
