WOW Apartment on Swanston

Location and view

The view and location

The apartment was dirty on arrival. Litter on balcony. The bathrooms was not clean. There are lots of artificial plants and flowered which are dusty, and dusty skirting boards and pictures hanging. The whole apartment paint both on walls and doors was old and dirty and the were dirty hand marks on all the doors and frames. TV very old, no new functions available. Prior to arrival we were sent a very long list of rules and standards for maintaining the cleanliness of the property. Also they hold a $500 bond. We were asked to wear slippers yet the carpets were so old worn and filthy. The sofas were torn and dirty with wear and soft cushions were all very dirty. Not an inviting area to sit in. The bed in the small room was uncomfortable and rolled into the middle. The pillows were all very old and poor quality. The quilts were very thin in all rooms. The were hair strands on the bedding and pillows. Advertised to accommodate 6 people. There were only 3 odd wine glasses odd mugs, not enough bowls or any side plates and no water glasses. Lots of pots but lacked basic utensils. One tee towel for the kitchen supplied. One of the dining chairs collapsed as my friend sat on it. There was only 1 clean small bath towel per person, one hand towel per bathroom for 6 adults and a 5 day stay. To say we were disappointed is an understatement. I have reasonable and realistic expectations when staying in rented accommodation and this is usually reflected by the cost, location of the property. The standard was lacking in every way. 6 very disappointed customers.

The location is good, within the CBD area

No free parking !!!!

Location was good. Well connected to publlic transport and restaurants and a supermarket. Short walk to QV market. View was amazing from floor 38. Plenty of toiletries. Kitchen was well equipped.

Collection of key was not on site. Badly in need of an upgrade. Furniture pieces falling apart and aging. Leather couch very worn and torn. The majority of the light fittings had at least one globe not working. Laundry door wouldn't close. No plug to basin in shared bathroom. No spare blankets and no top sheets to any beds. Cleanliness left much to be deisred. Coffee machine in cupboard hadn't been cleaned from a previous tenant. Exhaust fan over the cooktop needs cleaning, gave the apartment a stale odour. When ww moved the bin, looked like it had not been cleaned under for some time, also needs cleaning. Lots of maintenance needed on furniture and fittings. We tightened all tap fittings, hand towel rail to ensuite falls off it you touch it. Floor mat in the living area has a huge fold - nasty trip hazard. The standard lamp, coffee table and TV cabinet are all falling apart. There is no luggage stands in any of the bedrooms to put cases.

Location & secure building. Was as advertised

Unit was a little tired. Needs new carpet, lounge suit & smart tv ( current tv is not a smart tv). HWS was poor, nice & hot at night, stone cold in mornings.

The location was close to Vic Market and Melbourne Central

The keys are not available onsite and this is not disclosed before booking, while it may not be very far away if you have luggage with you it isn't ideal. There were roadworks going on that kept everyone awake for the two nights we stayed there as they were incredibly loud. From what we were told all residents and owners were informed of these beforehand but again not disclosed. The apartment is very small for 6 people staying there, the bedrooms are all very small but the third one looks like it was never meant to be a bedroom because it was tiny. The apartment is quite tired and worn, there are kids stickers all over the walls in the bedrooms, the bathrooms both need work as they are in need of repairs All in all I would not recommend this as there are better locations in better condition at the same price.

location is good...kitchen and laundry facilities superb!

location to wait for our UBER or DD. Need to walk about 3-5minutes...sofa need replacement perhaps a sofa bed will be nice!.

Travelled with 3 friends and my young son Several comfy couches in the living room Everything we needed Excellent location We were a bit late checking out due to my confusion with keys Owner kind and understanding and able to communicate effectively
