Pros:

Clean, well presented BIG apartment - my family and I stay here regularly. Outstanding location in the middle of Brighton. The staff are exceptional. The apartments are always exceptionally clean and the free wifi is high quality and supports streaming. There are two supermarkets close-by (one approx 100 meters away), we had free access to the Brighton Baths Health Club.

Overall we really liked the property and enjoyed our time in Melbourne.
Pros:

Location was perfect, close to public transportation, (short ride to CBD). Shops, cafe, bakeries, restaurants, bars nearby and walking distance to beach. We had complimentary access to The Baths. Very nice neighborhood. I would definitely recommend to friends and family to book their stay in Melbourne.

Cons:

There was loud generator sound near my unit/bedroom and it kept coming on overnight.
