The location suited us.
Value for money
Convenient location for our stay
Location, with parking, is great.
Bedroom and lounge area were roomy, comfortable bed and big TV. Close to tram and train, close to IGA supermarket, close to parks, and MCG, city and good food (Victoria Rd/Smith St) all in walkable distance. Seemed to be a central laundry available too but didn't use it. Service was OK when required. Windows had some form of double glazing which kept the noise down. Aircon was good, we were there on 40 degree days and it was still cool inside day and night.
Birches is close to North Richmond shops and Cafés, Victoria Parade tram service and Eye Hospital. Room was well appointed and comfortable.
Location, size of unit, bath.
Location was great for hospital appointments. Lady on reception was lovely and very helpful. Apartment was very clean and well appointed.
