Staff excellent and very helpful with misplaced swipe key. Apartments could do with some updating for example, dodgy power point in kitchen, no towel rails or even hooks in bathroom, only place to sit towels on closed toilet...unhygienic! Location is great, parking limited, very tight parking spaces. Only mirror in whole apartment small vanity mirror.

The place is a bit rundown & I was particularly unimpressed with the curtains as they didn’t not fully cover the windows meaning people could see in so no privacy. The receptionist didn’t seem interested.

The property is in a great location within the beautiful suburb of East Melbourne. The property itself was old and tired. Due to the rain we received over night the apartment we stayed in leaked and had a terrible smell. It was extremely basic facilities but the sheets seemed clean which made it a bit better. It was extremely expensive for what we got.

Shower drain was blocked and quickly flooded. Overall apartment smelt of cigarette smoke and needs a refresh of paint, comfortable couches (the current one was old and not at all comfortable to sit on. No tv in main bedroom. Tv in living space was very small. Overall cleanliness and security into the building was poor (complex front door didn’t automatically close). While price wasn’t too expensive, I would try other options next time

Good location, poorly maintained

Beds were comfortable enough. Apartment was very dated. Nothing like the photos on the website. We were offered an apartment which wasn't even at the address we booked. Front door rattled and wobbled even when locked. Bath coating was peeling, bathroom tap had broken and been replaced with a bolt, toilet roll holder was hanging on by a thread
