Sarah from New Zealand (9/10)
The best location, was super close to Southern Cross tram station and the supermarket. Pretty views of the Yarra river and you could even see the mountains in the distance. Very comfy beds and pillos!
Robert from Australia (9/10)
Loved the size of the apartment, We had two kids and two adults. Having two separate bedrooms and two bathrooms was great. The beds were super comfortable, had the best sleep. Great being able to have a washing/dryer to use during our stay within the apartment. Was great to be able to have an under covered secured parking space which didn't cost any extra to the stay. Location was great, right opposite shops, tram stop, restaurants etc. Kids loved having access to an indoor pool.
