This was an outstanding stay. I am a regular visitor to Melbourne and this is the first time in ages where the apartment actually matched the photos on the site. From the moment I arrived the service was great. The room was well appointed, quiet and comfortable. The place is secure and a supermarket literally over the road! Once you work out the two closest tram stations then you will be connected to everywhere you need to go, and being just off the motorway makes ubers etc really easy. I loved it and will return.

Spent six nights and was upgraded to an 2brm executive apartment. Found it noisy on the first night but didn’t notice any noise the following night and for the remaining of our stay. Clean and spacious. TV in second room didn’t work but wasn’t bothered. Location is great and nearby supermarket and local eatery. Staff were friendly and very professional. Overall thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely return.
