The location was perfect. The train is a few minutes walk away. You can easily walk north to Victoria Street and south to Bridge Road. If you’re comfortable walking, you can walk to town through the gardens and yo Richmond station.

David from Australia (8/10)
location was Perfect for my stay.
very clean and secureJesse from Australia (8/10)
Self check in and out was a pretty seamless experience, very private (ie I never actually encountered the other guests, of which there is only 8 rooms total spread over 2 floors. Walls were very thick and the rooms are well separated. Front street facing gate to the grounds, the building lobby doors and each individual apartment door are all accessible via the same pin code . was very secure and discrete feeling.
looked like the kind of place you might have your mistress stay after you've flown them into Melbourne for the weekend. If you're into that kind of thing . lol
The point of contact for the property was very responsive when I did have an issue, which is good but probably bare minimum necessary as there is no staff on site or anythingKiara from Australia (8/10)
Very convenient location, easy walk straight into the city to catch free public transport or train is literally the next street away. Self check in and out is great.
