Manhattan Apartment

There is both good and bad with this apartment. We booked a 2 bedroom with "private plunge pool" for 2 adults and 2 kids (15 & 16). The good: 1. Very clean and modern apartment 2. 5 minute walk from Southern Cross Station 3. WiFi was good The not so good: 1. They advertise a "Private Plunge Pool". This pool is shared with all other apartments from all 52 levels. Not so much a plunge pool but just a pool. Nothing private about it. This was blatant false advertising. 2. The apartment was tiny. It was advertised as 63 sq/m. I think that figure is very generous. 3. Both bedrooms are more partitioned off than actual bedrooms. The doors are glass (opaque) and sliding. If there are any lights on in the apartment, there is no blocking that light in the bedrooms. 4. There is no reception. You need to ring a person on arrival to give you the keys and take you up to the apartment. Not so bad, just a little bit of a pain. 5. With 52 levels and only 4 lifts there is often a wait for the elevator in peak periods. Once in the lobby there was a line to the front door. Although very clean, modern and in a great location, I would probably not stay here again.

So happy with our stay here, great location close to Southern Cross Station, most surprising was how fabulous it was for the kids (rock climbing walls, lovely gardens to walk around and indoor pool), also very clean and great provision of toiletries etc.

The apartment was perfect for a couple. Great location in the centre of the CBD of Melbourne. Surprisingly quiet given its location but we were on the 46th Floor. Fairly sparton in terms of utensils, 2 cups, 2 knives, 2 forks, 2 glasses - you get the idea.

We are a family of three. We had a very enjoyable stay at the Manhattan Apartment. The place was new, clean and cosy, with all the essentials provided. The host was nice and friendly. There was a Coles nearby, and Southern Cross Station with Skybus Station was only a five-min walk. This apartment is highly recommended.
