Loved staying at Brighton Bay apartments.
Pros:

Paul and Jason who manage the Brighton Bay apartments were always so helpful, a pleasure to deal with and always responded very promptly, both ahead of our stay and when we had queries once we were there. The apartment was excellent - clean, spacious and a great location. Good restaurants nearby and also in Middle Brighton (just one stop on the train). Very easy to get the train into Melbourne too. Would definitely stay again.

Cons:

Nothing.
