The pictures are very accurate as to the condition of the apartment and the view. The apartment is very clean and appears relatively new and in excellent condition. The main draw cards is its convenience to Box Hill - very short walk to shops (2 mins) or food and trains station into city. Road access is good, Eastern freeway by car is very close, as is Springvale Road to SE side of city. There is spacious underground parking with dedicated spot(s). Furniture is a little on the basic side, eg very small desk, small sofa and one kitchen table. But, if your not planning on spending all your day inside, it is not an issue. There was a little bit of noise from outside sources, but certainly not enough to interfere with your(my) peace. I had recently been staying in the country, so it may just have been city noise was more noticable to me. I would recommend Alan's place and believe it is better value than some similiar places I had stayed in nearby
