Fräscht och trevligt boende med hemkänsla
Pros:

Supertrevlig serviceminded personal. Bra kök där man kunde fixa sin frukost och måltider, med liten innergård att sitta att äta på. Där odlades även kryddor man kunde använda. Fräscha lokaler. Bra tvättmaskiner. Fantastiskt läge med nära till butiker och restauranger både Collingwood och mysiga Fitzroy. Även nära till spårvagnen för att enkelt ta sig till city.

Cons:

När man duschade rann vattnet ut på toalettgolvet så vi köpte en egen fönsterskrapa att skrapa undan vattnet med.

Pros:

Quiet street with lots of quality food and coffee options. Room is comfortable.

Cons:

There's a stinky smell, particularly near the entrance of the room. Probably from the bathroom moisture sipping into the carpet.
