I spent 7 nights at Chenlei's Southbank apartment in the Oaks hotel building. This apartment has to be one of the best addresses in Melbourne. It is literally close to everything! For example; Walking distance to Flinders Street station and free trams in CBD is 5 mins, IGA supermarket 2 mins, 7/11 store open twenty-four hours 30 seconds, Arts Centre 3 mins, Southbank restaurants and shopping and the Yarra River 2 mins, Footbridge across the Yarra to Flinders Street 2 mins, Eureka Skydeck 1 min, Ferry to Williamstown 2 mins (a nice day out incidentally). You get the idea! The apartment itself is clean and comfortable and modern with great views on the 24th floor. You have your own room and bathroom and almost exclusive use of the kitchen/living room area and balcony. Skybus picks you up and drops you off 100 yards from the hotel entrance on Fanning Street. That is a very efficient service to and from the two Melbourne Airports incidentally. Booking Skybus on line is easiest. Apart from being met on arrival I only met Chenlei one other time. He is a chef in a local hotel and busy. When he is home he stays in his room allowing you the use of the apartment. The room is small but quite adequate with a comfortable bed and fine linens. It contains a double bed, 2 bedside cabinets and a large mirrored closet. Has an amazing view. The bathroom is modern and clean with shower, toilet and basin. Body wash, shampoo, hand soap and conditioner are provided. There is a washing machine in the storage cupboard which I did not use. Chenlei provides basic breakfast items plus tea, coffee and wine. The traffic did not disturb me at all. Chenlei stayed in touch by text to see if there was anything I needed. There wasn't anything though. I would enjoy staying with Chenlei again.
