I stayed at this property during the first couple of days of my vacation. The property does NOT look nearly as nice as the pictures.
It's a really old and beat up apartment building. My particular unit had 2 bedrooms, which was great although not needed for me. But the living room was tiny and uncomfortable.
Also the windows looked directly into the windows of another bunch of rooms. So I felt like I had to close the shades the whole time.
The refrigerator didn't seem to work. It was plugged in, and it was making noise. But it just wasn't cold, even after I set the temperature to the midrange, and waited until the next day. Also no lights.
I told the manager about it, and he said he can't do anything until the next day. Of course, I was checking out the next day. So that'd be sub-par service on top of the refrigerator.
Walls thin.
The pool did not look welcoming. But with more care, it would be a nice lap pool. The sauna was out of order.
The gym was my main reason for picking this property. It was also popular among others. But there were a lot of dumbbell weights in the 10-20 kg range that were missing. It's hard to work out with the mid range missing.
The location is decent. Close to Lygon and CBD, and a tram is right outside.
Generally, if I were a college student wanting to save money on a long term stay, then I'd go for this place. But if you're looking for something for your vacation, find another place, spend more money, and you'll enjoy yourself more.
