Wasn’t cleaned properly. Tv wasn’t working. Floor wasn’t cleaned when we arrived. Looked like as if it hasn’t been opened in a long time Kitchen benches weren’t clean. Cook top and over were dirty and oily. Plates had dried food on them. Lucky there was a Woolworths across the road. Bought everything in plastic

Imagine Marco had everything we needed for our 3 night stay. Beds comfortable and nice hot shower. Woolies metro, BWS and coffee shop over the road were great! We walked a lot.. but easy access to Southbank Promenade and city. We felt safe at all times and easy Uber ride to and from airport. Love you Melbourne xx

Apartment convenient to CBD, particularly if you are attending conference at the Melbourne Event Centre. Pool and gym area is a little disappointing as the pool is very small, but apartment was well appointed, clean, and given the noise of the area and its motorways the apartment was relatively quiet. There are a lot of negative reviews for this property and from what we saw they were all unfounded.
