Colin's apartment in Freshwater is well appointed, the apartment is on a high floor with exquisite views over Crown Towers and over the Yarra. Of an evening you have an interesting sneak peek into the exclusive gaming Saloons of the Crown Towers so that's always interesting too :) As is with all Freshwater Apartments, the location is excellent and with a McDonalds, IGA and 7/11 Downstairs very convenient to amenities.

The apartment itself comes with a coffee machine and fresh milk which was a nice touch, use of Washing Machine and Dryer is handy, as is a very usable kitchen should you choose to eat in.

I have given the rating 5 Stars but it's more a 4.5, there were a few small downsides:

1) The Parking Bay, although free (Some hosts charge extra for parking), it's on the 7th floor so takes a LONG time to get to, 4-5 minutes of driving up and around car park ramps.

2) The Wifi is very slow, less than 1mb/sec speeds so not really useful for even browsing.

3) The towels and bed sheets are fairly cheap, towels were not very soft.

4) There is only one TV in the apartment and it's tiny, would be a great bedroom TV and a nice big one in the living room if the host wanted to upgrade.

5) The shower, while large and luxurious with a fixed screen and Hobless, is fitted with a really cheap and poor quality shower head so the actual shower experience is not that great.

All very minor and given the price paid I think the apartment is excellent value for money and we would definitely book again if available for the same price.
