The apartment is near the corner of Queensberry and Swantson on the sixth floor. Generally it is a quite convenient location as tram service on Swantson is very frequent. A short distance away there are a few inexpensive restaurants. Farther afield, there are many good restaurants on Lygon Street (recommend Tiamo, which is north of Grattan Street) and of course many more in the central business district. There is an Aldi about two blocks south, other major stores farther, and a number of convenience stores closer. The area appears very safe.

The apartment building has security and it is easy to use. The temperature was comfortable all the time and we never had to use heat nor cooling. The view is open with no close building blocking the view. The apartment is small, but immaculate. The shower was terrific. I was a little concerned about possible noise as the apartment is in a university area. Of the seven nights, one was problematic as there was a thumping sound for a long time (no idea from where it emanated). For the other days and nights there was complete quiet and peace. Overall this apartment is highly recommended.
