Loved it
Clean and tidy apartment with everything that you need to a good stay. Close to shops, restaurants and public transport (tram, bus and train). And just 35 minutes walk in to the city this place is perfect. Close enough to the city but far enough out to be quiet.
Christopher, 7-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Was a great place to stay by the MCG. Clean spacious rooms with a surprising amount of coffee options for the morning.
Adam, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Convenient Location
Last minute overnight stay; staff very accommodating. Shopping, restaurants, and transportation nearby. Excellent location although not the fanciest place, but fine for a quick stay.
William, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice location, simple but comfortable and clean
Stayed there for the Australian Open, 20-25min walk. Close to train stations, supermarkets, 1-2 cafes for breakfast. The room was nice and airy, sofa bed was decent. Plenty of space. Could do with more clothing drawers esp if 2 or more are staying. The only drawback was the windows weren’t soundproof so woken up early every morning by traffic, garbage truck's, sirens etc If staying here for the tennis/cricket it’s an easy walk but if night sessions finish quite late u don’t won’t to walk back on ur own. It felt safe but very quiet and empty streets. If u have trouble with stairs ask for ground level too.
meegan, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Found the staff very friendly and accommodating. Beautiful hot shower and very comfortable bed. Great location to hospitals, city and public transport. The only complaint was the carpet. Alot of stains and needed a steam clean. Would recommend the property otherwise.
