8/10 Very Good! (286 reviews)

A short train ride into the city and easy walking distance to the train station. Lots of fresh food at the markets nearby and the accommodation was spacious, clean and quiet. Construction work in the streets nearby was not a noise issue at all. Would have liked a ceiling fan in the bedroom and a clothes dryer for convenience but managed without both.

This was my favorite spot to workout when I was in Melbourne. Beautiful outdoor space, the skyscraper in the distance, awesome water reflection. There are a few public barbecues as well if you want to enjoy a picnic on the grass.
