Easy to find. Easy check in process. Free parking although the parking for larger vehicles would be difficult. Excellent location. Convenient shopping options. Very close to the MCG (which is why we stayed in East Melbourne) and close to the CBD. The room, clean and tidy although there is a lot of ageing in the building itself and some of the room needs attention. Overall a good, safe place to stay.

The apartment was fairly old and quite basic . Bed was fine. The Carpet (floor carpet tiles) were not in good condition. Insufficient coffee, tea and sugar —— unless for only one night stay. However the apartment was located in excellent position for our needs.. Hosts were kind and friendly.

Is a little dated but quite serviceable. The bed was comfortable. Bathroom was clean. The folding shower screen seems to swing inwards though and needed something jammed under it to stay in the closed position so it didn't touch my back while showering
