Happy to have taken a leap of faith given that this listing was pretty new and short on reviews! The apartment is just as described and location is perfect. Located just across the Southern Cross station, you’re basically a stone’s throw away from rental car pick up, Coles etc. Conveniently located within the free tram zone too. Great city view from the 35th storey! Gym and pool facilities accessible as well. Kitchenette is well-equipped, other amenities such as laundry machine, iron etc are available and in pristine condition.
Our host, Bella, was exceptional. Despite several delays in our itinerary, she graciously accommodated our late check-in (~7pm) even though standard check-in time is 3pm. She’s very friendly and responsive on the Airbnb app and text. Since the apartment was so adequate in amenities, we hardly had to ping her for help (even though we’re sure she’ll be ready to respond any time). As our return flight was late in the evening, she allowed us to deposit our bags at her apartment couple of floors down and pick them up later in the day. Thanks for your wonderful hosting, Bella!
Definitely a value-for-money listing! :-)
