tram stationconvenient supermarketamazing viewgarbage chutesmall balconyfoggy glass
The location is great, near a tram station. South Bank Restaurants are also close. It is an easy walk to the MCG. A Woolworths Metro is nearby too. The apartment was clean. The view was amazing from the room. It was close to a supermarket and many attractions.
The smell of the garbage chute was almost unbearable in the hallways. The balcony is tiny. The air conditioning unit takes most of the space on it. The pool is smaller than expected. The glass panels are so foggy you cannot see through them.
