We didn't use the laundry or kitchen, but handy if you did need it. As for the "free self parking " I had to pay for parking $25. Can I get this back ? Over all the stay was very good and we are likely to use it again

There was confusion at check in even though I confirmed two days prior. I had reserved 2 rooms preferably next to each other. Other party arrived before me and given my room even though it was booked in my name . When I arrived my room was on a different floor and confusion reigned for a short while. Finally all was sorted with 2 rooms on the same floor. However, rooms were extremely clean, all amenities in kitchenette and bathroom and lounge area expansive. Balcony was welcomed and provided fresh air if required. Air con and extra wall heaters perfect for hot/cold weather however no air con or fan in bedroom but again access to balcony should you require fresh air. Parking on property ($25) and tram stop in easy walking distance. Botanic gardens across the road including the Shrine of Rememberance. Anzac Station due to open December 25 also short walk. As there are no dining options on the property a must for dining nearby is The Olive Tree (make sure you book) which is a well established dining treat. Stay was on the weekend and area was very quiet.

It's very budget

The balcony door had a visible gap in it so if there is someone smoking below or around you (which there was) the smell comes into the apartment despite the sliding door being completely shut. This also means that if it's cold or hot outside you're exposed to the outside temperature making running constant heating or cooling is a necessity. Additionally, all the towels smelled like chlorine and the bathroom doors creaked.

Very comfortable bed, reasonably cumfy sofa, spotlessly clean, spacious accommodation and the location is excellent. A couple of little niggles - the bathroom taps were very hard to turn off, and the switch to move the shower water from the tap to the shower had to be pushed really hard to keep the shower running. We'll happily stay here again.
