Great location and price. That’s about it

Very cheap for the size and location. The LHS of the king bed is sunken and collapsed. The couches are rock hard and extremely uncomfortable. There was only one bowl which wasn’t adequate given it’s a two bedroom apartment. Freezing cold and only one thin blanket on each bed plus one additional blanket per person.

Safe and secure. Comfortable and very easy to get to centre of Melbourne with a tram. Or even walk if you had to. 10 minute walk to the MCG. Grocery shop just around the corner. Would very happily stay there again.

Basic but spacious and convenient

Basic but catered to our needs, great location for the footy which was the purpose of our trip. Only real negative was not enough cutlery in drawer, only two forks, and 3 spoons, we had booked for 4. However quick 5min drive to Kmart and $5 spent and we had a full set of our own cutlery.

In the end we chose not to stay in the building and just drove back home. Greasy walls/ doors / handprints on table and door. I don't recommend booking here.

This satisfied our purpose of purely a bed after going to the football but we are grateful we only needed that. The front door to the complex was constantly ajar leaving no security. The doors to the rooms were grotty. Inside was basic but our internal door had swear words written on it. The room was cold, ran down (parts of bathroom new) and the curtains were not actual curtains - I can’t even describe them. I was worried we were going to be broken into - I wouldn’t stay here again. I guess you get what you pay for in this example.
