“Modern apartment with a fantastic view”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

I stayed with my partner and my mum at Short Stay Apartments for 5 nights in a beautiful 2 bedroom and 1 bathroom apartment on the 34 th floor. We all loved the apartment which was very well appointed, modern and had great views over Melbourne. The kitchen had everything we needed and we cooked almost every night there. We really liked the location on the Southbank at the Yarra River with only a short walk of 10 minutes to the city centre. Restaurants, supermarkets and bars were also closeby and in walking distance. We would definetely recommand these apartments and would love to come back ourselves!!!

“Short Stay OK”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 January 2012

I stayed in a 3bed 2 bath apartment with a group of six. Bright, clean and generally pretty good. We had a few minor issues with aircondiditoning but staff promptly addressed those issues, and the apartment could of had a few more wine glasses given that it accomodated 6-7 people. The carpark, while convenient, needs an explanation of how to exit it but ultimately it wasnt difficult to work out! All round a very good apartment and I would stay again.

“Stay far away from these apartments”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 January 2012

people found this review helpful

Booked for two apartments and asked same building same level. Got same building because I asked twice but same level remained a dream. They did not care in fact. Given the security policy in force, staying in this building was a nightmare. At check-in, the guy forgot to debit my credit card for reasons I still yet do not understand. Thus they try the next few days to debit the card for the total amount without the pin. At the end, VISA blocked the transaction at 3000A$ with a balance of 500$A. And then Short Stay blocked my access to one of the apartments whereas my wife and two of my children were still locked in. I get back the access to the apartment once I menace to set off the fire alarm and call the police. Damning day not saying the apartment floors were dirty, the dishwashers broken and the service far below the minimal level. Run away

Room Tip: Don't go there

“Beautiful, modern, great location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 January 2012

Beautiful, modern, well-appointed, 2-bedroom apartment in a fabulous location just south of Yarra River in the Southgate neighborhood of Melbourne just a short walk across the bridge from Federation Square. The apartment was well maintained and included nearly everything needed for a short stay. If you are hiring a car, the parking accommodations are reasonably priced and incredibly convenient. The only issue we had was that the air con system was not able to keep up with the 40 degree heat wave and hence the bedrooms became hot and would not cool down until hours past sunset. We rented through Wotif and had a very good deal; hence this apartment was very good value for money.

“Melbourne Short Stay Apartments”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 January 2012

A friend and I stayed recently stayed in a 2-bedroom apartment over Christmas Day.
Despite this peak period, we were checked-in promptly by friendly staff and enjoyed the use of the apartment, which was clean and fully furnished with all that you need. I would stay here again.
