Shelley’s apartment was small, quaint and cozy.
All the amenities offered were perfect for our needs. The bathroom was a lot more spacious than you’d assume. The kitchen had plenty of utensils and cookware so you don’t have to solely rely on take out. There was plenty of storage for our luggage and personal items, we didn’t have to live out of a suitcase the entire trip opposed to some other places.
The apartment building has fantastic views of the city & river skyline from the roof top balcony. The building also lets in lots of natural light during the day due to the open courtyard in its centre. Sometimes at night this can get a bit bright as the lobby lights are kept on all the time.
Shelley was accomodating to our needs and helped us when we had issues getting into the building on our arrival. Once we had our key there were no other issues.
The building can get quite loud at night as it is a strata block, the building is situated next door to a restaurant. Even more so over the New Years period, this didn’t bother us as we’d sleep with the tv on to cover the noise. Definitely something to keep in mind if you are a light sleeper.
The location is astounding, the building is directly across the road from the Aquarium and tram stop, and a short 5-10 minute walk to both Southern Cross and Flinders Stations.
All in all, Shelley’s place was perfect for our needs and we would definitely stay again if we are ever back in Melbourne.
