My wife and I were in Melbourne a few days and have not stayed in South Melbourne. We really enjoyed staying in the unit, it was a perfect size for 2, everything about it made us feel comfortable and most importantly it felt clean. Initially we had an issue with locking the door so we messaged the Help Squad who were really responsive and patient and once we figured out the unique locking mechanism we were good (read the manual send, it will explain it). There's a nice verandah with the view of the Melbourne Market building. There's tram tracks directly below and behind the building but to be perfectly honest it was not noisy that we even noticed any sounds. I personally loved the open air rooftop, we enjoyed the sunset on the day we arrived. In terms of location it was perfect. We were really surprised how many shops and food was available at the Melbourne Market building which opens from Wednesdays to Sundays. And there's a plaza with Woolies and a BWS across the road. We loved it.
