This was the second time we stayed at this same building. The first one was 2 years ago, on an apartment facing north (the city). These were different experiences.
The contact with the hosts was quick, efficient and instructions for check-in very accurate.
The apartment was clean, with all the basic appliances, line, towels and toiletries available. The parking is great. There is a supermarket (IGA) and a Discount Chemist just down the road at Sturt st. The CBD, Royal Botanical Garden, Albert Park and South Melbourne Market are all at walking distance.
The downside was the noise from the motorway, it goes all night and the sound of trucks passing by is really intense, especially in the master bedroom. It is less intense on the second bedroom where our kids slept. The flat we had 2 years ago was silent, just because it faced the other way.
In summary, it is an excellent base to explore Melbourne, however, beware if you are jet lagged or a light sleeper.
Cheers,
Marco and family.
