Stay at Birches
Overall well priced and comfortable. A few issues with the remotes (batteries needed I suspect) but otherwise comfortable and just what we needed, close to transport, the local shop and eateries as well as a short walk or tram ride to the heart of Melbourne

Location and comfort
Perfect location, could walk into town, gardens across the road to walk the dog. Loved the apartment, big windows looking out on trees. The walkways were a bit grubby but the apartment itself was comfortable and clean.

Old rooms, uncomfortable bed.
The bed was so uncomfortable, feels like it was meant to be replaced years ago (this is for Room 6). Bathroom is old, kitchen is old, overall cleanliness is not acceptable as there were still dirt marks seen around the bathtub/shower.

We spent one night here. Everything was great and matches the photos/description from the listing. The property is not too far from the CBD, and it was dog friendly. Will come here again in the near future!

Small but adequate
Great location for going to see the tennis, clean and comfortable. A door between the bedroom and the lounge area would have been good. We didn't receive the late check in information and had to ring but all went smoothly after that.

The apartment was ideal for my reasons to be in Melbourne.
The property was o.k. We did have a couple of issues, a dripping shower and the gate to the parking area did not work all of the time. Otherwise the property was fine for what we needed.

Pet friendly accommodation close to Melbourne
The serviced apartment is conveniently located. Fitzroy Gardens is only a short walk to take our dog for his daily walks. IGA, cafes and tram stop are also close by. Office staff is friendly and helpful. Room is clean and comfortable. Will be my place of choice when I visit Melbourne again.
