Location and cost were very good. Quiet neighbourhood within walking distance to shops in Richmond, the MCG and public transport. Apartment was a good size and bed comfortable. Negatives were the very dated and uncomfortable couch, dirty window ledge in the bathroom (covered in loose dirt) limited toiletries. Overall I would stay again as the location is great.

Was a great location. Easy check-in and friendly staff. But you can hear EVERYTHING from neighbours all around. There was a mother and daughter fighting for over 30 minutes. A baby screaming throughout the night. Parking was great the first night but upon return the second night, it was quite full so had to squish in the corner. Lots of rubbish out in the carpark area.
