This is a 1 room +kichenette and bathroom apartment in an old building right opposite the aquarium and a tram stop. Really good location - can walk to both Southern Cross and Flinders St Stations.
When I say old building though - it means it comes with all the old building features - pealing paint, thin walls and I saw at least one tiny cockroach every day in the sinks - just a warning for anyone terrified of bugs like I am - it's definitely not a cleanliness issue - I would say the apartment room itself is quite clean but they come in from outside. I did continue to stay at the apartment for 2 weeks though so that tells you that they didn't bother me too much as they stayed mostly in the sinks. Neighbours can be loud at night occasionally and because the only window faces into the shared space, curtains have to be drawn at all time so the room can feel quite dark. Also laundry and outside bin is far away. Getting to the host to collect the key was also not super easy but checking out was a breeze. That's all the cons though there were lots of pros!
Pros: really great location, fantastic roof space with views across the Yarra to southbank and city lights, comfy floor mattress, all amenities there, all the cutlery/cooking basics present, water pressure is great, fridge works well, space for 2 luggages in the middle of the room, warm in winter, no lights shine inside at night, nicely presented space with plants. Host was also very responsive and super nice to give me extra data for my long stay - really great service! Overall, a good, cheap, conveniently located self contained 1 room apartment to stay at! Thanks!
