Neat tidy friendly well located happy to return next time we are in Melbourne.

Easy to arrange rental. Important to book as early as possible. A little time elapsed between online booking and final confirmation. Mean time no other booking could be made as we waited for this confirmation. All ended well.

Weekend stay with small dog

Easy ground floor access and parking behind building. Low noise given area can be busy with traffic. No immediate garden area on the property for dogs but lots of grassy places on the street for break time and walks.

Good location, relatively good value, but not flash!

Apartments were in a great spot, walking distance to the city and on-site parking was great. The ladies on reception were lovely, but I'm afraid that's where the lovely stopped. The apartment was situated up a couple of flights of stairs, so worth asking for a ground floor apartment if you have mobility issues. (We weren't given the option when booking). The apartment itself (#17) was very tired. Walls had been haphazardly washed leaving streaks everywhere that looked pretty dodgy (one pondered what had been washed off and none of those scenarios were good). There was no door to the bedroom, so don't anticipate privacy if you're thinking of using it as a 2 bedroom stay. The furnishings are meh and the kitchen area and bathroom are pretty sad. (i.e., old, tired and not well cared for. The bathroom in particular needs a good clean). There was 1 small round of cheap wrapped hospitality soap for 4 guests and whatever was in the shower dispenser (shampoo??) was a gross consistency and smell, so bring your own toiletries. Oh, and if you want anything other than English breakfast tea and coffee, then bring your own supplies too. Sorry I can't be more flattering, but I expected more as the photos looked promising and it was still more expensive than other 2 bedroom options in the area.

Would recommend to others.

Secure parking was a worthwhile option. The location was nice and quiet yet close to shopping for supplies. Some of the fixtures and fittings were a little tired but serviceable. Lots of green grass around was a boom to walk the dog easily Thanks
