Positive Reviews
positive:
Very good location
Guests clearly liked the location of the apartments. Apart from the immediate area, which was said to be especially good for shopping, dining and nightlife, guests also mentioned that it was close to the Prahran Station from where they could quickly get into the heart of the CBD.
positive:
Apartments very well equipped
Guest after guest mentioned being very satisfied with the way the apartments were equipped. They report not really finding anything that they could point out that they needed, but was not present in their apartment. The laundry facilities were especially appreciated.
positive:
Spotlessly clean
One of the first things guests mentioned in their reviews was that their apartment was simply spotlessly clean when they checked in, with very, very few complaints to be found in the reviews.
Negative Reviews
negative:
No onsite staff outside business hours
A number of guests reported that the reception desk was only staffed during business hours. Many found this to be a problem since issues didn’t only arise at these times, but at any time of day and night. They were generally not happy that small problems, like their TV not working properly for example, could only be seen to the next day.
negative:
Very noisy environment
The apartments are located in a very busy area that is especially popular at night. Guests reported that at weekends, when many visited the areas bars and clubs, the noise could get quite bad. They did not believe effective soundproofing had been installed.
negative:
No onsite parking
Motorists were very disappointed to find that the parking was not actually at the apartment building, but some walk away. Some merely found this inconvenient, while others thought that it represented safety issues when parking late at night.
