Thank you for your review. I really appreciate the time you have taken to put your thoughts in writing. I do hope that we see you again, with your returning-guest discount when you book with StayCentral. You are welcome to return here, but if you would like to try somewhere else for a change of scene, we have more than 20 different locations around inner Melbourne, with more than 1,000 reviews at 4.9 Stars, so there are plenty of reasons to 'StayCentral' and lots of scope for variety. I look forward to assisting you next time.___ Regards,___ Chris McDonald,___ StayCentral Melbourne Corporate Apartments.
