What Our Guests Say
The apartment was very spacious for 8pax. Kitchen was fully equipped. Parking available in a gated compound which is a big plus point.
On a separate note, we had an issue with the water tank which was leaking. the staff was very prompt in replying and coming down to check. they were very quick to activate and rectify the issue. i must say Lee, Leong and Seth were very efficient. Highly recommend.
Apartment was nicely decorated and welcoming. Good location - 10 minutes walk to top of main cbd area. Easy check-in.
Good communications from the host, nicely equipped apartment, great location.
We were studying at the Melbourne Uni so the location was excellent. Short walks to shopping and restaurants with the trams just outside. Beds were comfortable and the unit charming but cold. We are from Queensland so maybe it would have been cold for us anywhere we stayed.
The view from the balcony, especially at sunrise, was incredible! The apartment felt very open and airy too.
