We stayed here for the Australian Open. It’s only a 10 minute walk from Melbourne Park, has an excellent IGA very near by, a lovely cafe at the bottom of the building, and is very well set up. We were on the 13th floor and it was pretty quiet. The beds were very comfortable and we loved the fact that you could choose to have four single beds.

Great location, nice apartment, uncomfortable bed.

We stayed for a week to watch the tennis. Location couldn’t have been better. Close walk to Melbourne Park with unlimited bars and restaurants just a block away at Southgate along the river. The apartment had everything we needed and was very comfortable except the bed. It sagged down in the middle and was quite springy. I would however, stay here again, as the location was so amazing and the apartment was nice.
