The apartment was in a perfect location for my week’s stay as my daughter's family lives close by, so I know this area well. The apartment is in a quiet, secure and safe complex of a small number of units. It was very comfortable, the living and dining areas were very spacious and the balcony provided a lovely spot in the open air. Overall, the apartment was very clean except for the balcony area and the black mould on the shower tiles. The 86 tram stop is on the corner with a short trip to the CBD to visit the arts centre, theatres, museums and retail, as well as close to Smith and Brunswick Streets for a wide variety of retail stores, restaurants, cafes, pubs and supermarkets.
On the negative side, as my return flight was changed, I requested a quote to stay for a further night, however when I immediately went to book it, the quote was denied due to ‘dynamic pricing’ and therefore a price increase had occurred and the management would not acknowledge its previous quote. Every time that I emailed, a different person responded. As I was miffed, I booked the extra night in a different location. I noted that during the following few days that the apartment was still vacant. The information on the website stated that soaps, toiletries, dishwasher powder, toilet paper, etc were provided however there was only one tiny hotel soap, two dishwasher tablets, eg, as supply for a whole week. Apart from these issues, I thoroughly enjoyed my stay.
