Property is central but wasn't very baby friendly. It was ok for a couple of nights but wouldn't stay any longer than that. - No plug in kitchen for me to wash my babys bottles etc properly. - Not even a little bottle of milk was supplied to make a cup of tea or coffee. - Exhaust fans in bathrooms were all mouldy - Dishwasher smelt disgusting and had food and glass in bottom of it - Pillows on bed smelt gross - And had to get rid of our own rubbish and recycling even after paying $300 a night....

2 Night Stay

The check in process was via a local cafe which I did not enjoy. The key was provided with no instructions, though I was lucky than someone exited the building and was able to provide assistance. There was left over food in the fridge and the draws had food crumbs through out. The air con sounded like a jet air plane. The outside noise at night filtered through out the room and the room let in too much light at night. The wifi and the location was great.

The apartment we had was in the Center of Melbourne easy walking distance to cafes,restaurants,train and tram station. Good wifi. Handy to have a washing machine and dryer. The only disappointment was that it was very small not the impression you get from the photos.

Central to Melbourne CBD

Stayed 2 nights in a 2 bedroom apartment at 238 Flinders Lane. The unit was well presented, roomy and quiet, given its location in the centre of Melbourne. Big living area, with a big comfy lounge made for a couple of relaxing nights.The Regent Theatre, the reason for our visit, was a matter of mere minutes walk away. There was plenty of restaurants within a minutes walk.

Disappointing

I found my stay here disappointing for many reasons: 1) Bathroom had two burnout lightbulbs and the washing machine had a visibly broken handle. 2) I had to walk for blocks on a very hot evening to get a second key. I was clear when I booked that 2 people were staying so the 2nd key should have been provided at the start or at the very least brought to the apartment. 3) The fridge was exceptionally loud. I travel a lot for work and this the loudest fridge I have ever encountered and as the apartment was open plan I found it disturbed my sleep. 4) Only one side of the bed had a reading lamp and power outlet. 4) I was disappointed that the owner had no flexibility regarding checking out after 10am. My flight was at 6:30pm so we ended up having a very long wait at the airport. We were given the option of walking many blocks to their offices to leave our bags there but only if we had a ‘small amount of luggage’. While I am a fairly seasoned traveller and able to traverse the odd logistical issue that might come my way I did not feel they went out of their way to make sure we were catered for.
