The William Suites

Perfectly situated if you want to be in the very center of Melbourne. Good sized and nicely furnished apartment with everything you need and the kids loved the rooftop pool (though sometimes a bit too crowded since it is shared with entire building). A small (and pretty expensive) grocery store nearby, also restaurants that serve breakfast in the neighbourhood. Big shopping streets within walking distance as well as the Queen Victoria Market. Smooth check-in and check-out process and all contact with apartment hosts via Whatsup. Only downside really was the cleanliness of the apartment. Bathrooms were not properly cleaned when we moved in, food still in fridge and freezer, old towels hanging in a cupboard, balcony not possible to use since so dirty. Got an apology, but no action or compensation. Also after a few days, there was this terrible smell in one of the bathrooms. The reason was old pipes and the host quickly helped us solve it. All in all, the perfect situation, the nice apartment and the pool outweighs the cleanliness flaws.
