Cozy and welcoming accomodation
It’s good being close to the station! You don’t hear any sounds of disturbance at all. Close by locations to south Yarra! Different varieties of shops to visit!

The apartments have a fun modern design, but it's clear they have just "gone over" the top of the existing old building creating some awkward shaped spaces.
It's in a really convenient area, close to lots of shops/dining and the train station.

From start to finish this was such an amazing stay. I was able to check in early, the room was amazing, the bed super comfy and the front desk woman even helped me with my crazy heavy bag. It was in a safe neighborhood right near shops, food and public transport. Would recommend and stay again!

We’re a family of 4 (2A and 2C) and recently stayed here to attend the AFL grand final. This property was very close to the train station and only 1 stop away from the MCG. The self-contained apartment was well equipped, beds were very comfy, and the double glazed windows made the unit very quiet. We were very happy with our stay.
