Guest Reviews

• PAUL (7/5): - all good no outside table and chairs
• Stephanie (5/5): - Close to Southern Cross Station. You have to go on the other side of the road to get the key. The address for the key should be given at the same time as the address for the apartment. Backwards and forwards. Ridiculous. Mould around the bath. For the cost of the room please clean it properly. The balcony door is incredibly heavy to open and close. Maybe some wd40 to help it glide easier.
• Laura (8/5): - Super friendly owner. He helped us a lot.
• Nateasha (8/5): -
• Tamara (10/5): Overall great stay - Great view and fantastic location. Has everything you would need. Beds were uncomfortable
• Mark (9/5): - Close to everything I needed. Lifts busy.
• H (2/5): -
• Megan (8/5): - Location for concert
• Melinda (9/5): Will definitely book again - Fantastic location. Apartment was amazing. Will definitely book again Nothing
• SRONG (4/5): -
• Ruth (7/5): Comfortable and good location opposite Southern Cross Railway Station - Great location opposite Southern Cross Railway Station and the Skybus. Comfortable, simply furnished one bedroom apartment with view over towards Marvel Stadium. Good sized bathroom with shower over a small bathtub. Close to supermarkets, restaurants and factory outlet shopping and public transport. Limited cooking equipment ie pots/ pans /crockery very old. A few more comfortable touches such as bed lamps in bedroom would be great as very dim lighting. No balcony furniture or dining table /chairs or cushions on the lounge.
• Julie (4/5): Horrible costly for parking which l thought was included. Pots and pans old and dirty. Not very happy - Location. No signage to show you the front entrance Getting fob from across the road. No one to speak too. Person on the phone rude. Had to pay to swim. No parking enough though my booking had a parking option. Once again person the phone rude said it wasn’t his problem. I am very disappointed would never recommend this place to anyone. No teaspoons one cup no ironing board or iron. Who needs a curling wand? Sliding door extremely heavy to open. I hurt my shoulder opening the door to view the balcony. Once again very disappointed with the service which there was none.
• Jasna (10/5): Excellent - Spotless room and bathroom • Quiet environment for good sleep
• Jennifer (2/5): -
• Vij (8/5): -
• Justine (7/5): We were comfortable enough but the above items need attention. - Location was excellent and apartment was clean and well lit. Couldn’t get hot water in the kitchen without boiling the jug. Crockery and cutlery was sparse. Couldn’t use the oven because it blew out the power. Taps were loose and needed repair. Bedroom could do with bedside lamps.
• Mina (9/5): We really enjoyed our stay and it’s location thoroughly. - Brett is an excellent communicator and an extremely helpful host. Brett went above and beyond to ensure that our arrival was easy and our stay was comfortable. Nice and spacy apartment with adequate amenities, it feels homey. The view of Melbourne city from the apartment balcony is Stunning, especially at night time with all those city night lights. Great location!! So convinient, no car was needed to get around the city! Walking distance to all great places such as CBD, Crown casino, Convention and exhibition centre, Queen Victoria market, all type of restaurants, grocery Shops (coles & woolies), Trams, Trains, Located literally opposite of the Southern Crosd station where the sky bus departs and arrives. We took skybus from the airport and just walked across the road to get to this apartment. Made airport transfer a breeze. Nothing! Can’t think of one.
• Shayne (7/5): -
• Joseph Raymond (10/5): Good - Clean, with a nice view and very affordable Nothing
• Sam (10/5): Very handy location with all we needed for our stay with children! - Central and easy to deal with
• Lorraine (8/5): I would absolutely stay again as it was a great location & the host was very responsive & helpful - It was so good central to the Skybus trams etc perfect location & easy to find. It was a decent size also with a nice wee balcony. Very quiet in the building lots lifts It was a bit tired needed a freshen up but was clean! Bed was ok fairly comfy lots hot water& good water pressure, but no coffee or tea pot, no colander the pans were old, felt a bit cheap & could do with an upgrade as well as some more cutlery, plates bowls etc but did the job.
• Kevin (8/5): Comfortable, great location for what we needed - Location and the apartment was great Nothing really we didn’t like
• Jing (10/5): - The room was spotless with no odors, and amenities like shampoo and towels were provided—though we brought our own, it was a nice touch. The flexible check-in time was especially helpful since we arrived on an evening flight, and the host communicated promptly throughout.
• Ryan (10/5): -
• Nicole (7/5): Fantastic location if going to an event at Marvel Stadium. - Fantastic location- perfect for our needs No issues
• irene (6/5): Great location - Good location Sink tap needed tightening, more cutlery and plates would of been good
• Allan (5/5): - Location is fantastic Apartment in need of upgrade. From a toilet seat falling off, a sink mixer detached ,a sliding door that a wwe star can open. But most of all I had to sleep on the sofa...the bed is a foam mattress...yip.
• Nadia (10/5): - Great value for money and location will be trying to stay again
• Agnes (5/5): I expected more for the price paid. - Good location opposite Spencer St train station. Close to trams. Easy to access the property. Good communication and fast response with owner. Stove and oven were not working. There was a $10 fee to use the pool, which was not mentioned on the booking site. There was barely any cutlery - two spoons, two forks and two knives, as well as just minimal crockery. There were 1 1/2 toilet rolls provided for a four night stay. No wine glasses! The booking site said coffee and tea available - the only coffee was a small amount left over at the bottom of a small jar, that was probably left by a previous visitor. No milk.
• Yungju (1/5): The host has serious issues with honesty and is not proactive in resolving problems, which made the stay a terrible expe - The location is convenient, situated right across from Southern Cross Station, and it’s also very convenient to take the airport sky bus. 地理位置方便，位於南十字星火車站對面，搭乘機場快捷巴士也很方便 地理位置方便，位于南十字星火车站对面，搭乘机场快捷巴士也很方便 The front door handle and the kitchen sink faucet were loose, and guests had already reported this earlier in the year, but the host never fixed them. The night before our stay, we were informed that the oven was broken, and we were also told that a deposit of USD 150 must be paid before check-in, otherwise we would not receive the key PIN code. The washing machine can only be used for free once; after that, each use costs 10. None of this information was disclosed at the time of booking—we only found out the night before check-in. This clearly shows that the host has issues with honesty. In addition, the sofa bed in the living room was very dirty, the kitchen had a strange odor, and the bathroom was extremely unsafe. There was a rubber floor mat on the ground—never step on it when the floor is wet, you will definitely slip! My daughter slipped in the bathroom because of this mat. During our stay, there was a power outage. The host was not proactive in handling the problem and blamed it on a city-wide blackout in Melbourne. The electrical box door was already broken, yet the host claimed that we damaged it. When we immediately reported that the bathroom hook screws were loose, the host again shifted the blame onto us. As a side note, there is a strange person living next to the garbage room who yells angrily if you make too much noise when throwing out trash. Please be very mindful of your personal safety!
• 奕茹 (8/5): -
• Sue (7/5): Great location, wonderful views, comfortable. - The location was perfect, great views, very comfortable bed and sofa bed. Very little crockery/cutlery/ utensils.
• Trewin (7/5): - The location and size The shower.
• Susanne (1/5): -
• Kate (9/5): We had a great time in Melbourne in a good base to explore from and relax when "home" each day. - Loved the location as it was close to transport and most shops you could need. Personally struggled a little with getting in and out of the shower over the bath.
• Raul (8/5): Very good -
• D.holden (9/5): Great location - The location is excellent. Very convenient. Had to pay extra if you wanted to use the building's facilities but this wasn't clear prior to booking. Didn't matter as we didn't use anyway, but would have been good to know.
• Ramnavmiwale (9/5): Superb - The location eas so convenient. Closer to station , closer to so many eateries. You can take team, train, sky bus just by walking across the street.
• Xun (8/5): Very good - Great location!It's no more than a 2-minute walk to Southern Cross Station.
• Benjamin (9/5): Overall, a most pleasant and restful stay given the apartment to come well stocked with essentials and its very central - The apartment was spacious and equipped with all the essentials. Loved the great city views and especially the central location, just a minute walk to ground transportation, shopping, supermarkets and a variety of F&B options to suit all budgets. Appreciate also the ease with collection and return of keys to the apartment. Don’t know there’s anything I did not like about the property.
• Paul (7/5): If I needed to be in the area again for a couple of days, would happily stay in the same place. - Location was fantastic, opposite Southern Cross station. Tram stops nearby, supermarket (Coles) nearby. Apartment was clean and had a nice views of the cityscape. Secure entry to building and key pickup and drop off was a breeze. Probably a cheap set of bowls/cutlery from Aldi wouldn't go astray...and a small table chair set for the balcony, but nit-picking here.
• Allan (7/5): We stayed one night only. The room was clean and spacious. Food outlets very close by. The bed was firm. The owner was v - Location, city views, lots of room, quiet. Bed was very firm.
• Whitworth (8/5): Witches stay - Sliding doors where so hard to open and close
• Robyn (8/5): Very good -
• Heather (2/5): Disappointed - Not much Kitchen tap falling apart Water bottle of cigarette buts on balcony YUK Entrance door handle very loose Such a confusing procedure to collect key
• Cielo (9/5): A lovely clean and comfortable apartment in a great location. - Very simple to collect the keys from Keypad Lockers. The host provided detailed instructions on how to collect the keys. Easy to communicate with the host who was very prompt in returning the deposit :) -
• Massimo (4/5): Disgusting but great location - The location is terrific, but that's about all that we can rate highly. The toilet was not clean, the shower tiles were covered in mould (in and out), no hand towels, bath rug dirty, not able to remove the dryer vent to clean (note on dryer to clean after use), clearly can see it's stuffed with lint, fan in washer/dryer closet filthy. No top sheet on the bed, no bedside lamps, kitchen was very poorly supplied. Only one knife, no tea towels and no coffee maker, the tap was dirty and not screwed down to the bench so it wobbled The lounge was uncomfortable, there was a chair with no legs sitting in the corner, a shabby desk with a ripped and dirty gaming chair. And a dirty large balcony with no furniture and the door was very difficult to open. But it did have a bath mat. That, we assume, was supposed to go in the bathroom, not the dirty rubber mat that was by the bathroom sink. The only air conditioning is in the lounge and that filter was filthy, which adds to the health hazard along with the mould in the bathroom. The size is fine and the tile floors looked clean. Upon leaving we had to send photos to get our bond back. Perhaps that's the only type of inspection conducted. Yes, it's priced on the lower end, but never to excuse the condition of this property. The staff were responsive when we complained about $10 per use for the pool. He waived the fee. We booked this months in advance but should have looked at most recent reviews prior to the cancellation expiration date.
• Neil (8/5): Very good - Location, easy entry, tidy unit, beautiful coffee shop next door, convenient to shopping.
• Kristy (5/5): Good spot, nice size, read your description - Always a great location near the station making transport easy. Lovely view. Nice size apartment. Be aware of $20 per visit to the pool/gym if in ad description, (the gym and pool are tiny compared to the apartments a few doors up, the pool was not heated due to a maintenance issues that weekend so we weren't able to use). Also be aware no coffee, milk etc as per description, so get that at the supermarket on your way. Need to download an app to use the keypal locker and I saw some older tourists struggling with this but mine was ok. I was a bit stressed about paying $100 cleaning bond (when there were several marks on walls and wobbly handles already in the room) but my deposit was quickly returned.
• Karen (4/5): Would not recommend this place - Close to southern cross station Using the keypal across the road to get access to our room. What a pain. Would not have booked though booking.com if I’d know this. Should have been more like a Airbnb. Shower looked a bit grotty. Pillows not comfy
• Robert (10/5): Excellent - Homely and modern
• Jay (10/5): Exceptional - Strategically located opposite Southern Cross Station.
• Aaron (7/5): Good -
• Steven (8/5): Very good -
• Yen (9/5): Superb - Very convenient location (opposite Southern Cross station). Can just walk to the city or take the tram anywhere.
• Jerry (10/5): Exceptional - Very good location right across the station, shopping centre and cafes, clean, have all the basic equipment inside the apartment, prompt reply from the host. You can hear the street noise (light) at night especially if you are a light sleeper.
• Ellana (4/5): Disappointing -
• Stuart (8/5): Very good -
• Mary (5/5): Passable - Good position. Good size. There are no table and chairs. No toaster. Covers too small for bed. No plug for bath.
• Tee (8/5): One of the best city accommodations that we have used. - The location across the road from Southern Cross Station is great. The people were very respectful and helpful to us. It is lovely not to look out to a concrete wall or building close by. It would be helpful to have two sets of keys as my husband and I do not spend every minute of every day together. TV could not get vision for SBS stations.
• Daryl (7/5): Good -
• Kreymborg (10/5): Exceptional - The view and close to the skybus Nothing all good
• Narae (9/5): Superb -
• Denise (8/5): Very good - Location very central to all services. All good no complaints.
• Paul (9/5): Great size room in an awesome location, bus ride from airport drop-off over the road, easy access. - Great location, good room size with a good balcony, issue with picking up the keys was sorted quickly, dropping of keys was easy and deposit returned on the day of exit, a very comfy stay, opposite bus drop-off from the airport was great. Room a little dated, could do with a minor revamp but OK, dishes were still in the dishwasher and was lacking some glasses and small items, overall nothing serious.
• Mohd (10/5): Exceptional -
• Sharon (7/5): Good - Location was great. Apartment was spacious. Plenty of cleaning supplies and bathroom products. Getting the key was quite complicated. There was no tea towel and not much cutlery or crockery, so we had to wash up after every meal or put the dishwasher on.
• Lucie (9/5): Superb - Perfect location, close to stadium and train station.
• David (8/5): A enjoyable week in Melbourne, looking forward to next visit. - Location was excellent. Trams, Train and buses out the front door. Restaurants, fast food great. Secure carpark. If i am honest, the bed and pillows were not what i am used to, but that's me, everyone has different likes. The only other thing, is the amount of notice given, regarding getting access and the exact location. This is not a Booking.com problem alone, its the same Airbnb.
• Patrick (10/5): Exceptional - Great location
• Tangata (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jay (10/5): Great stay! Great host! - The location was great! Southern Cross Station was really across the street from the place. The host was very responsive and accommodating. Since we stayed for 11 nights, we did request a few things and the host set us up with what we requested. It was a really great place to stay just for the hospitality alone. Nothing really. The place was great.
• Victor (1/5): Bad -
• Nathan (10/5): Awesome location, good night-life and super close to trainstation - Awesome views and close to a bit of everything, will definitely look into staying again when I'm in town. Was a little confused at check in as didn't realise at first that the display was touch screen to dial in was looking for a number pad. So maybe wording could be worked on with that, or I'm just out of touch with some tech. Other wise was perfect
• Gaven (10/5): Exceptional -
• Barbara (10/5): Very pleasant experience host very accommodating and friendly - Great location Nothing
• Craig (7/5): Good - It was located in a great location across from Southern Cross Station. Unfortunately the Sofa Bed was uncomfortable and couldn't be slept on.
• Toni (10/5): Great location. Prompt response from the host. I will definitely stay again. - Very central to all of the CBD.
• David (6/5): This place is ok if you don’t plan on staying longer than a few days; nothing over a week. - Location was great and the staff were very accommodating and friendly. They let us check in early without any issues and answered all our questions. Honestly, the bed was terribly uncomfortable for me and my partner (it just lacked support and proper bedding - pillows were old/lumpy and quilt/doona seemed a so also). Washing machine leaked over the floor whenever used.
• Julie (5/5): Not pleasant at all - Wasn’t explain clear about how to pick up key or where to drop it off then the person that owe the property accused me of vape e- cigarettes I don’t smoke at all he was hoping to keep my security money he is a liar
• Peri (10/5): Great stay close to amenities - The location and building Nothing
• Jen (8/5): Comfortbale and very convenient location. - After eventually finding the key collection place, the key collection and access to the apartment was easy. The apartment was spacious and clean. The location was fantastic for us, as were were so close to tram stops, Southern Cross Station and Skybus. The supermarket was very close and there are plenty of cafes and restaurants nearby. The kitchen facilities although adequate were a bit sparse. There were no bowls (for cereal or pasta), no wine glasses or tea towels, and only 2 plates, 2 cutlery sets. The kitchen and bathroom bins did not have bin liners. We are also used to finding a "compendium" of information about the property (eg details about wifi access, where to take garbage etc) but this was not provided and we had to ask the host lots of questions by texting him/her. The host was always quick to respond to our queries.
• Somdatta (9/5): Superb - Superb host, very accommodating and helpful. Allowed us for very early check-in and late check-out (without any extra charge). The host bought us a new blanket and its cover when we requested him for one extra blanket. We received very quick responses from the host all the time. Location is also great. Highly recommended.
• Rachel (8/5): quiet, convenient - Good location Private Quiet kitchen and laundry was good Not much info on arrival - had to call to get someone to come down and let us in but they responded quickly
• Thomas (10/5): Exceptional -
• Richard (4/5): Bookings dot com need to vet this property and the owner display the property truthfully and clean i - Location was good and unit good. The cupboards oven and all wardrobes were unclean as was the balcony. There was insufficient crockery and cutlery. There was only one glass.
• Dickeson (8/5): Accommodation was in fantastic location. Brett was great to deal with. - Accessing key was bit confusing this would difficult for anyone not good with technology.
