Akbar's place is really convenient within the Melbourne free tram zone and just 2 minutes walk from Southern Cross station and skybus station to the airport. The apartment is comfortable and has all you need for a weekend away. One of the bedrooms has superb views to the Etihad Stadium and docklands, perhaps those who have fear of heights will need to stay in the second bedroom! Akbar was very accommodating in our requests for early check in and late checkout. The foxtel we found could only access free to air channels, although that's probably a small problem if you didn't plan on staying in too much. I would recommend Akbar's apartment for a travel group of 2 or 3 max. It is a bit small for 4 people.
