Good for a short stay. Not a long stay. If you are staying for longer, higher one of the bigger rooms.
The room is okay. Our washer/dryer combo could not dry clothes, even when we attemoted to try something for 4 hours, so everything we washed had to be hung to dry.
The room gets stuffy and dusty very quickly. I got a bit sick due to the accumulating dust in the room from the carpet. This is no fault of the place, but cockroaches came into the room whenever we opened the doors for fresh air. Im guessing it is because the room was humid and dusty.
The bathroom gets also easily flooded as the shower door has a gap at the bottom that leads to the rest of the bathroom.
Staff are phenominal however with their service. Whenever we needed them, they were available and tailored to our needs. The amenities were also good!
Room was very tired and in need for a renovation. Room was on a good location but that was about it, definitely not clean. Was told to send message when we were on our way to check in and would be met in foyer to check in and when we did no answer and was left waiting 20mins after check-in time before someone turned up
Good location, but this is my first that accomodation does not provide a shampoo. Usually Bodywash and Shampoo are basic amenity. Clean and enought facilities for staying.
This property might be okay, if you have complete flexibility for your stay. For example, there is no front desk (known when booking), you have to coordinate a time via phone to check in. You cannot leave your bags in the property before or after check-in and there is no parking (again - known at time of booking).
The property is very dated, the carpets have large lumps throughout the living and bed rooms and are a bit of a trip hazard. There is extension cords and power boards running across the floor in the living room and a power board next to the bed.
The heating/cooling system could be the loudest I've ever experienced and there was a reed diffuser which makes an overpowering smell for a small apartment. The TV in the living room did not work (it turns on and has a blurred picture) and the batteries in 2 of the 3 remotes were flat.
Positives are that the apartment is a good size and has all of the facilities that you would want in it. It is very close to the Queen Vic Market and easy walking distance the central Melbourne.
