The location was great. There’s lots of cafes and dining options, a major supermarket and hotel all within a five minute walk, and although the apartment is on a main road it is completely quiet, partially because it is set back on the property. It even has a small backyard with outdoor tables and chairs. If you want to commute to the CBD It’s a one minute walk to the bus stop which takes you to the Melbourne CBD . The beautiful Ruffey Lake Park is located only about 1-2 km away.
Manny’s place is very clean and comfortable and was fitted out with everything you could need. The beds were comfortable, and bedrooms spacious enough, the lounge, kitchen and dining areas are good, and the desk/study nook area facilitated a working from home situation very admirably.
Manny and his family were very accommodating and quick to respond with any questions. They even allowed us to inspect the apartment before we booked in, which was greatly appreciated given the longer term nature of the booking. When we moved in they had stocked the fruit basket, and also left soft drinks and milk for our use - a nice touch indeed. There were some concerns with the TV and internet when we first moved in, however, Manny and his family went out of their way to address these issues, which were no longer a problem after the first day or two for our stay. The apartment was upgraded to NBN connection during our stay as well.
I would highly recommend this well located, modern, clean and comfortable apartment; and the excellent hosts for your stay.
