Rooms
The One-Bedroom Apartment includes a fully equipped kitchen with a refrigerator, microwave, dishwasher, oven, stove, and tea and coffee maker. The living area has a desk and a monitor, which is handy if you need to work during your stay. The bedroom has a firm bed, and the bathroom includes a hairdryer, though some guests noted that toiletries can run low. The apartment has air-conditioning. Note that in one case, a guest reported the air-conditioning was not working, but the property lists it as an amenity.
Dining
There is no on-site restaurant at South Melbourne Central 1BR - 106, but the apartment's kitchen is equipped for cooking your own meals. For other options, nearby streets are filled with restaurants and coffee shops. Guests recommend trying the local cafes for breakfast and the eateries within a short walk.
Amenities
The apartment building offers a shared outdoor pool, a gym, and a second-floor outdoor space. These are available for guests. The pool area is described as beautiful and a good spot to relax. There is no spa or wellness center on-site.
Location
The apartment is in South Melbourne, about 14 km from Essendon Fields Airport. It is a 13-minute walk to the National Gallery of Victoria, a 600-metre walk to the Shrine of Remembrance, and a 17-minute walk to Arts Centre Melbourne. Trams are close by, with three stops to the city center. You can also reach the Royal Botanic Gardens and local National Trust sites on foot. The location is also near local shops and restaurants.
Services
Key collection is done at a nearby IGA store, which serves as the key nest. Some guests had issues with incorrect codes or unhelpful staff, so be sure to check your instructions carefully. The apartment provides free on-site parking, a lift, and luggage storage. No room service, business center, or concierge is available. The host is reachable by text, though in one case they were hard to contact. The building is secure, and the apartment includes a washing machine and a private balcony.
“The apartment offers a genuinely comfortable base, with a well-equipped kitchen and practical amenities like a desk setup for work. Its proximity to trams and a vibrant dining scene makes it exceptionally convenient. This feels like a truly secure and accessible choice for anyone looking to explore the city.”
