This was a great place to stay. I stayed for a course in the city, and it was a close walk to there and to everything else you would need - in particular Melbourne central, a large shopping centre with a Woolies for groceries if you need and heaps of places to eat out. There’s a tram stop and a 24hr convenience store right out the front. It’s also close to the Carlton Gardens, a perfect place for a morning walk/run.
The apartment itself was clean and tidy. As Linette makes clear it has a lived-in feel like staying at a friend’s place but is not at all messy or crowded. The brightly coloured decor is a mood-lifter! There was no issue with noise, and good blinds to keep the sun out if you want a sleep in.
It’s a secure building with swipe access. I didn’t use it personally, but there is a laundry in the building on the ground floor.
Check in was very smooth. I arrived at about 9:45pm and there still someone at the front desk - I think they’re there til 10:30pm. Checkout was simple. Linette and I didn’t really need to communicate much because there were no issues or questions, but she left contact details in case it was needed.
Overall I had a great stay with no issues. Thanks Linette!
