Essendon apartments

Great location,very quiet street,property has everything needed for a home away from home stay

Bad check in and out

Fantastic location

Having never stayed around this area before I wasn't too sure about it. But turned out to be the perfect location for everything we needed and wanted. Also getting in and out of town. As for the space, again, had everything we needed and wanted.

The main issue we had was the incorrect direction to enter the building. The online instruction was to enter through Homer Street. After searching for that in the rain, and attempting other entrances, we spoke to a resident who advised us to try Hall Street entrance. Finally we were in, although wet from the wind and rain, and not happy. The location to collect the key was not easy as we had no transport other than Uber. To return the key to this location on check out was impossible as it opens at 8am while we had to leave the accommodation before that. I corresponded with Stayz on not being able to return the key, locking the apartment on departure and placing the key in the mail box in the mail room. We left a note for the cleaner with this information.

Location on Pascoe vale rd right at the tram stop was excellent with a short tram ride to the heart of Melbourne. Street parking was in short supply due to most being permit allocated. Although off street parking was free charging for induction to use the car stacker was not mentioned in the booking. Cleaning of the apartment was very poor, upon arrival we found dirty tissues on the floor in the master bed along with previous renters prescription medical in the robe. Both bathrooms had mould on the base of shower screens along with a thick covering of grime on the exhaust vents. In the kitchen the cutlery was in short supply and it took two days before any extra was dropped off. If this accomodation was cleaned properly it would be a 4 star review.

Nice apartment, clean, easy access, private courtyard. Most of usual things supplied. Take your own condiments. Pillows provided are very full and fluffy, take your own if you prefer a lower pillow. Parking spaces are for SMALL sedans only - no wriggle room at all. Very quiet, block of 8 flats, only saw one other occupant the whole week. NO traffic noise.

Lovely apartment, clean and comfortable. However, the Check-in process was rather tedious and I didn't particularly like retrieving the key from a lock box on a fence - it was also hard to open. Nonetheless, a good and affordable stay.
