We were told Southbank is a great place to stay as its out of the bustle of the CBD but only a 5 minute walk over pedestrian bridges to all the sites of the CBD and access to the free tram throughout that area. All of that was true. The apartment was very clean and modern and the beds were very comfortable. There isn't much available to cook meals, but we were planning to go out every night anyway so not a problem. We had internet connectivity issues delaying getting in and then for 36 hours during our visit, but we think that may be a Melbourne issue that we're just not used to being from the US. The workout facilities were amazing as were the public spaces on the 70th floor. Our host was very responsive to all our questions and resolving our issues.
