The property is in a great location within the beautiful suburb of East Melbourne. The property itself was old and tired. Due to the rain we received over night the apartment we stayed in leaked and had a terrible smell. It was extremely basic facilities but the sheets seemed clean which made it a bit better. It was extremely expensive for what we got.

You get what you pay for. Dirty and very old, could do with a clean and a paint. Furnishings are old, bathroom is old, nothing at all like the pictures. Impossible to park 2 cars side by side in the car park. Lucky we only stayed one night after a concert, so wasn’t there for long. Won’t be going back and would not recommend

To make this simpler I have prepared a pros and cons list. For reference we stayed in the second building location. Pros:-provided basic kitchen appliances/ full sized fridge -easy to get to -receptionist was helpful Cons: (buckle up) -appliances were dirty -cutlery/crockery were dirty -dirt on the walls -broken air con -broken dining chair -bathroom sink took a long time to drain -visably stained bedsheets -provided wifi was incredibly slow/barely working Just to name a few. All I can say is you pay what you get for. But even so I wouldn't stay again.

This property is in need of a deep clean, there were clean sheets on the bed and thats where it ended. There looked to be blood on the floor in the living room and every service had some kind of grime on it. The couch was like sitting on a concrete bench and wiifii code did not work. Will not stay again....

Good location for footy, that's about it.
Cold, old, drafty apartment with dodgy heater/aircon. Shower was extremely tiny, no room to move. The couches were small and hard like park benches. The bed was ok though. The only reason anyone would stay here is for the really close proximity to MCG.

Really do not go here. It's really terrible. I tho
This place is not remotely like they describe it. Nothing about deluxe family room. Really run down old tired. Everything is bad. I wouldn't let my dog sleep in here. The staff were okay. No I can't say that because they weren't even there. There was no one at the desk. They just sent an email off lock box instructions
