This is a lovely, new-feeling apartment that has spectacular views and is in a fantastic location. It is extremely close to Southern Cross Station (where buses arrive/depart for the airport) which was a bonus for us on arrival and departure day. The apartment is over the road from a Coles supermarket, and is only a very short walk away from a tram stop. ALL OF THIS WAS PERFECT FOR US. The apartment is well appointed; very comfortable beds, kitchen with plenty of bench space, and a comfortable couch and armchair in the living area. There was plenty of hot water for showering (the water never ran cold on us once!). While the apartment is compact/small, our group of three felt we had plenty space to feel comfortable in for our three-day stay. The apartment is very quiet, and others living in the building were very polite (e.g. when we met them in the lift). The neighbourhood was very clean and tidy. We felt very safe and secure in this apartment/apartment building/neighbourhood. …. We had a slight communication issue a few days before arrived; we emailed to find out how to get the keys to the apartment and felt concerned when we didn’t get a quick response. However, after a couple more emails we got the information we needed and all was well.

WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND AKBAR'S APARTMENT, and would definitely stay there again if visiting Melbourne.
