I would highly recommend Melbourne Carlton Central Apartment and would happy to stay there again.
Pros:

The location is brilliant and made getting around Melbourne incredibly easy and Lygon Street was right at your door. Having a separate bedroom and extra space in the apartment was excellent, especially for a longer stay. The staff were always friendly, welcoming and happy to assist with anything needed during my visit.

Cons:

While the room itself was a little tired and could benefit from more attention to cleaning, it did not take away from the comfort and convenience of the stay.

Great location

Interesting location close to city and lots of great restaurants.

Cons:

The apartment we had was fine, it had what we needed for our stay but it was pretty basic and maybe due for a refurbish
