Perfect for three, your very modern corporate apartment is amazingly located in the middle of the CBD's cafe, restaurant and shopping district. It is inside a classic, older, Melbourne CBD building with a security entrance. The living area windows overlook Flinders Lane below.

This is a two-bedroom apartment: with a queen bed and a single bed/day bed; (all the robes are in the queen bedroom) and there is also a very comfortable fold-out bed in the large ottoman in the living area if needed. This apartment doesn't have aircon, but it is really well protected, and doesn't seem to need it. Opening windows allow a cross breeze through the rooms. Heating is more than adequate.

CBD Little Paris is located amongst some of the best shopping, restaurants, cafes and bars in Australia. The tram stops are just 100m away. You can enjoy a walk to some of the best-known sporting venues, markets and arts venues in the country. Everyday shops, services, banks & ATMS and all your everyday needs are catered for nearby.

The property address is 237 Flinders Lane, Melbourne, VIC 3000.

Your swish Melbourne boutique, serviced apartment includes very modern, high quality furnishings and appliances, linen, towels, and kitchen. Opening windows allow fresh air through all rooms when you want it.

Car parking is available nearby for a small fee. Monthly rates are as little as about $11/day.

Response from the owner Thanks for your feedback, and I agree with you on some points. We get a lot of complaints from guests who book through Wotif. The problem is that we have no arrangement with Wotif to market our properties, and the information they display is not correct or approved by StayCentral. They just take some information from Expedia, and usually don't get it completely right. We make it clear on all sites that "welcome supplies only" are provided, but this is not shown on Wotif. Having said that, it is very clear on Wotif that we require a $600 security deposit. Don't take my word for it; you can read it on their site. This is quite normal for self-contained apartments in Melbourne. Nobody was rude or threatening to you at any time. Why would we need to do that? We simply pointed out that the deposit needed to be paid prior to arrival. The Greeter was not a trainee. He was actually one of the supervisors of that company. I am sorry that you could not contact him straight away. Sometimes this happens. You failed to mention though that we gave you a free early check-in more than three hours ahead of the normal check-in time, and still got in more than two hours ahead of time. We always try to give free early check-ins whenever possible; and late check-outs. Yes, I replied to you about the windows and the cockroaches. Unfortunately, these can appear at any time in Melbourne and Sydney properties, and the baits were doing their job. I agreed with you in our emails that some dead ones would have appeared in the six days between when the apartment was last cleaned and when you arrived, and that we should have swept these up before you arrived. Our mistake. There is construction in the area, so yes, the windows were very dusty on the outside, but the cleaners should have cleaned them better on the inside. Our mistake. If you had advised us about this, I would have sent the cleaners back the same day. I'm sorry that you had to put up with the unclear views. I get no joy from my guests not enjoying their stay with StayCentral. Sometimes things don't work out as well as they should, and we do whatever we can to fix this, or make it up to the guests. Up until this point we have only had 5/5 reviews on Wotif and elsewhere. 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 800 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.

This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on all reviews.

Response from the owner I made an extensive reply to this review months ago, but it disappeared soon after. TripAdvisor were going to look into this and get it back, but I just discovered the response never re-appeared. We try to be very transparent with our information, and we stated on the site that rates were discounted due to possible inconveniences due to nearby demolition and construction work. Most of our guests have enjoyed a peaceful stay at a discount, but you clearly came at a time that a lot of work was going on. I'm sorry you had issues, but unfortunately, you have been in the minority. Luckily all the demolition work has ended now, and most of the construction work is now deep in the ground. We had previous complaints about the neighbour almost two years ago, and that situation had been dealt with at the time. Unfortunately they chose your stay dates to have another argument. I wish we could control arguments with our neighbours, but anyone can be subject to this, in any location; even in expensive hotels! We can't be there 24 hours a day, and we advise in our Guest Information Folder to call the police if there are big disturbances from neighbours. If you were able to call our office in the middle of the night, this is all we could have done. It just allows people to hopefully get a quick solution to their problem. I'm sorry you had a poor experience with us. you can see from our great reviews that this is not normal for our guests, and is rare. I do hope that we see you again, with your special 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.
