The spacious apartment is in a converted warehouse building, with high ceilings, but a deep plan and with only one window looking out onto the lane, so it is a lot darker than the profile photo suggests, even if you decide you can live with the privacy blind up (but I was also staying during winter). As other reviewers have noted, the apartment backs on to a Korean Restaurant which can be a bit noisy weekend evenings, and you can hear the dishwashers going between about 10 and 11 PM, but this did not disturb me greatly. Apart from that, it was actually surprisingly quiet considering its proximity to a busy road and majot transport hub. Everywhere in the CBD was walkable, and the public transport was exceptional (apart from learning the expensive way that you will want the Myki MONEY, NOT the Myki pass if you are not commuting, and that Public Transport Victoria will only give refunds to an Australian bank account!). I'd also recommend the Italian Restaurant opposite.
