We stayed at Irina's place for one week. The apartment is a decent size for a one bedroom apartment, with ample space in the main living area. Some days we worked remotely from the apartment, which worked well with a large desk space as well as dining table. The wifi was reliable, and we streamed Netflix on the smart TV with no issues. The apartment is just off Chapel St, but you can only mildly hear the bars. The road has many apartment blocks on it, and therefore we could hear noise coming from apartments across the road on Fri and Sat night. The apartment building Irina's place is in was very quiet, however. As we arrived in Melbourne after 6pm on our first night, we stayed in a hotel nearby to avoid the $50 late check-in charge and checked in here the following day. Check-in was smooth and we were met with the key ahead of our check-in time.
