It's a shame we weren't aware of this review. I'm glad you enjoyed your stay so much. I do hope that we see you again, with your returning-guest discount. You are welcome to return here, but if you would like to try somewhere else for a change of scene, we have nearly 30 different locations around inner Melbourne, with more than 900 reviews at 4.9 Stars, so there are plenty of reasons to 'StayCentral' and lots of scope for variety. I look forward to assisting you next time. Regards, Chris McDonald, StayCentral Melbourne Corporate Apartments.
Perfect position- handy to transport, shops, restaurants and a number of parks for walking our dog. Very comfortable, clean and quiet. Has everything you need. We’d definitely book here again- wanted to stay longer.
The location was excellent & beds comfortable. Cleanliness was average, I had to wipe out the bedside drawers before I put clothes in. The apartment was very dark & gloomy & depressing. The saving grace was the location & the park nearby.

Thank you for your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the location, comfortable beds, and the nearby park.
We’re sorry the apartment didn’t fully meet your expectations. We appreciate you letting us know about the bedside drawers; cleanliness is a top priority for us, and we’ll ensure this is addressed with our housekeeping team.
We understand that everyone experiences spaces differently, and we’ll take your comments on the lighting into consideration for future improvements. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts
The property was nice the location was great for access to public transport. We found it almost impossible to park our car in the supplied area. A Neighbour was kind enough to swap his parking space with us. We di notice a smell in the rug in the lounge room that smelt like dog urine. It should be cleaned professionally to remove it. We could notice it every time we entered the room, but it would become less noticeable the long you remained in the building. Overall we were very happy with our stay.
What a spot, in the heart of the action, walking distance to anywhere and a short tram ride to the city. Will stay again on our next trip to Melbourne

Convenient Location and Comfortable beds
In general this is a nice apartment but without front screen door or fly screens it lacks fresh air and air flow but does have air conditioners. The kitchen cupboards need to be emptied out, everything cleaned properly, decluttered and packed away neatly. Noisy bathroom exhaust fan that is sensor activated by movement in hallway is annoying when trying to sleep.
Great park down the road for exercise or running your dog. Barkly Square just a short walk away.

I'm glad you enjoyed your stay. We have never had anyone ask about fly screens on the windows and doors but I will look into this, as other people may like to have these as well. I'm glad you enjoyed the aircon in every room though, as you had temperatures up to 32 degrees during your stay, and it would have been very hot and stuffy with the windows open. Hopefully we will have fly screens on enough of the windows to allow fresh air to flow through the apartment, for those who prefer this to the aircon. It looks like the cleaners have missed going through the cupboards and drawers properly. I'm sorry about that. They normally do a great job. This will certainly be discussed with them. I wish you had told me about this when you noticed it. I would have sent them over straight away to fix this. You are right about the sensor in the bathroom. We actually had the electrician organised to come over on the morning of your arrival to replace the unit with a more sophisticated, narrow beam unit to solve this problem, but they were held up at the last minute. The simple solution in the meantime has been to simply close the bathroom door to stop the sensor activating when you walk past. This new unit will definitely be installed this week. I'm sorry we couldn't get it in there before you arrived. Princes Park and Royal Park are certainly very close and massive. I'm glad you got to enjoy at least one of them whilst you were there. Likewise, the apartment is so close to the shopping centre, cafes, restaurants and the trams. Everything you could need is certainly just a short walk away. Please check with us the next time you want to stay in Melbourne, as we have multiple apartments all around inner Melbourne. We may have fly screens on this apartment shortly, but you may prefer to try one of our other apartments in a different location. I look forward to assisting you on your next visit.

I'm pleased that you enjoyed your stay with us at Brunswick. This is just one on many locations we have around inner Melbourne, but you are right; it has everything you could need, and is very comfortable. The apartment is certainly in a great location; so close to the shopping centre, cafes, restaurants and the trams. Everything you could need is certainly just a short walk away. The regular, fast trams just out the front are also brilliant for getting into the city at a minute's notice.

Great location and great property
We really enjoyed the convenience of being in Brunswick, close proximity to fabulous Sydney rd and Lygon st - food heaven. Did not use the car as property is really convenient to trams but quiet. Property has everything one could want (home away from home) - will definitely stay here in the future.
