This apartment is a bit of a mixed bag.
Great location with proximity to Southbank, and terrific views from the 33rd floor
Apartment has a balcony but no outdoor furniture.
It could also have been cleaner
- baked on grime around the gas cooktop burners, and a dried food spill on the arm of the leather couch in the living room. Fridge, microwave and rest of apartment was fine though. Kitchen layout is awkward with microwave in a bench recess that means the door only half opens before jamming against the side of the cooktop. Annoying and also dangerous for getting hot things out.
Good and effective AC, but it made a high pitched whine that was annoying.
Bedroom was a real squeeze, with not enough room at the foot of the bed to get past without bumping into the wall mounted tv, and the bed was uncomfortably soft. Good pillows though.
Bathroom was clean and functional, but I don't recommend the clothes washer/dryer for drying items eg towels if you need them any time soon. 3 hours to dry 4 towels.
Pool area was lovely but no towels available there, and very limited seating. Pool is quite small too - a lap pool that is 1.2m deep all along, and really only wide enough for 1-2 people to swim in at a time and no place to sit in the water or pool enclosure itself, so not really suitable for anyone with young kids.
Overall it wasn't bad for a few days and nights and the location is great, but will probably look for something better next time we go to Melbourne.
