Pros: 30 min walk to Melbourne park. Free parking. Cons: outdated, dirty, super dirty. the only AC unit is the apartment was leaking water all over the place. I did notify the front desk but no one was sent to address the issue. The apartment definitely needs to be deeply cleaned and repainted. The furniture need to be replaced(stains wear apparent). I should say that as far as the towels and bed sheets are concerned they seem to be clean.

Turned up to check in to find out we weren’t staying at the address booked. Had to drive around the corner to the apartment. The rooms looked like they hadn’t been cleaned for months. Shower was filthy with soap scum and every where, toilet was dirty, every door had dirty fingerprints all over them. The fridge door handle was disgustingly dirty. End of bed had all hair where they had the rubber. Sheets were clean but beds weren’t comfortable. Thankfully we got this at a very cheap price after searching different websites. I’m glad we didn’t pay what some sites were asking! Would I stay here again? NO

Suited my needs but outdated interior. The bath and coffee tables were stained and the bedroom could have done with a fan or cooling. Otherwise fine bed was comfortable very convenient for going to events at Melbourne Park or MCG also very close to public transport As someone who traveled from the country l appreciated the free car parking.

Fantastic location and good heating but lots of improvements needed. The kitchen sink wasn't draining properly, cracks/holes in cement sheeting walls, bath was dirty, only 10 sheets of toilet paper were supplied, lamps were supplied in bedroom with no powerpoints! The stairwell had an awful smell. Linen was clean but Queen bed is two singles pushed together. Insufficient cooking and eating utensils in cupboards and only one bowl for breakfast cereal.

Great location and price. That’s about it

Very cheap for the size and location. The LHS of the king bed is sunken and collapsed. The couches are rock hard and extremely uncomfortable. There was only one bowl which wasn’t adequate given it’s a two bedroom apartment. Freezing cold and only one thin blanket on each bed plus one additional blanket per person.

Photos on the booking site are definitely not what greets you when you arrive. First room we had was filthy. Went to make a coffee and the cups were used and put back dirty, lip stick included. Utensils were used and put back in the drawer covered in grease and food. Complained to staff and got to choose a different room. Slightly cleaner but still not what is advertised. Staff were understanding and accomodated as best they could. Pictures on website need to be replaced with accurate ones
