It was pleasant
Positive: The location of the place is ideal for our needs
Negative: The cleanliness of the bathroom needs a lot to be desired. As this is not the first time we have stayed at this property I feel the beds need replacing

Melbourne trip
Positive: Very strategic location and convenience. Tram station just in front of the apartment. All foods and shoppings are within walking distance.
Complete kitchen utensils provided, can have good homecooked meal even far from home.
Clean and comfortable.
Customer service, ms Sharon was very helpful.
Negative: The registration and key picking process is a little troublesome as were given near to travel date. But once all done, the stay is wonderful.

Solid Melbourne Base with Top Location, Tempered by Arrival & Bond Process
Positive: Unbeatable central location — Right on Bourke Street in the heart of Melbourne's CBD and Chinatown. Steps from authentic restaurants. Fully in the free tram zone with stops outside — made getting to Federation Square, Flinders Street, Melbourne Central, Bourke Street Mall, and attractions effortless.
Great value for money — Solid pricing for a 2BR apartment sleeping six in such a prime spot.
Host responsiveness — Generally prompt with messages during the stay, and the bond refund went straight through once we prompted ~7 days post-checkout and provided details.
Functional for a short city break — The apartment suited our group needs overall.
Negative: Arrival-day stresses — Deposit transferred Monday, but Thursday message claimed it wasn't received (host oversight — it had), delaying check-in instructions pre-Friday arrival and causing unnecessary anxiety.
Key handover frustration — Via EzyMart: Early pickup/return fine, but later needed new code/host input. No phone answer, so messaging contact only was stressfull late in the day after travel.
Comfort shortfalls — No full bedding set for the sofa bed; mattress very thin and uncomfortable. Air conditioning struggled to cool the whole unit, especially bedrooms (minimal reach, stayed warmer).
Bond refund process — Required our prompt ~7 days after checkout to initiate; only then asked for details (felt like chasing to avoid oversight), though resolved quickly afterward.
