Urban Living at Its Best

Close to the tram stop, train station and stores. Close to our daughter’s apartment.

This property was in a good position for my purposes. Close to the Carnegie shopping area and not too far from Chadstone. 10-15 minute walk to the first area. There is also a public phone a couple blocks away and it is free to use. Helpful if your overseas data plan makes local calls difficult. This property has no local line. The place is accessed from a secure garage via stairs. There is no elevator. The garage has its own traffic light to insure safe to'ing and fro'ing of vehicles down the steep, single lane driveway. Upon arrival, the TV was not working, but, after communication with the manager, I reset the system by removing the power plug. After that, it was smooth sailing TV-wise. The two bedrooms were clean, as were the bathrooms. One is an ensuite to the back room. The other bathroom is next to the front room. For cooks, there were ample pots, pans, and stirring implements. There was a writing desk, too, but no power plug on the wall behind it. Internet reliable. Shower pressure was solid and it was easy to adjust the temperature. The only issue I had was a fridge that stopped keeping food cold. The manager responded to my complaint, and the fridge situation was remedied. The cause of the problem was not exactly what the manager's contractor said (the fridge's position means the doors scrape on hinges, so the unit needs careful placement), but I wasn't interested in debating that further. Overall, a very good experience, and the manager was responsive.
