Bon emplacement
Pros:

1ere resa annulée pour ?? On se retrouve à notre arrivée à Melbourne à l aéroport à minuit sans logement… j avais réservé ensuite une 2 e série de nuits, arrivée tard, le code ne donne rien , on finit par avoir l homme du ménage qui appelle la sécurité . La 2e nuit , nous sommes rentrés après 23h, notre carte ne fonctionnait plus pour l’ascenseur et l entrée de la chambre . Assez désagréable .

Für ein paar Tage auf jeden Fall zu empfehlen. Für längere Aufenthalte nicht ganz günstig, aber trotzdem noch fair vom P
Pros:

Der Ausblick in der 61. Etage war großartig. Die Unterkunft war sehr sauber und auch der Pool im unteren Geschoss hat uns gut gefallen, da er eine ideale Größe hatte, um Bahnen schwimmen zu können. Betten wurden täglich wieder hergerichtet und Bad geputzt.

Cons:

Eine Herdplatte war defekt, was aber nicht so entscheidend war, da wir bis auf Eier zum Frühstück nicht mehrere Töpfe oder Pfannen gleichzeitig nutzen mussten.

Pros:

Good location, closed to the Victoria Markets and Central Station. Very quiet apartment. Double blinds. View.
Helpful staff, who kindly brought 2 mugs, and a spare chair to take my clothes out of my suitcase.

Cons:

Small apartment. Very limited items in cupboards-No salt, pepper, oil, coffee maker, mugs, baking dish...No shelves in the bedroom, big build in wardrobe with only rails and coat hangers. Small bathroom.
Balcony is a triangle with absolutely nothing except aircon unit.
Not very attractive place.
