Perfect for four, your stylishly refurbished corporate apartment accommodation is tucked into the quieter back corner of a small apartment complex at 6 Sydney Road. It combines the beauty of a magnificent older-style, front-entry staircase with pencil pines dotting the front line of gardens.
This is a two-bedroom apartment: with a king bed, (splittable) queen bed, and single foldaway. There's also a cot and high chair available if needed for a small fee. Don't forget to bring linen for the cot.
Your Melbourne corporate apartment includes high quality furnishings and appliances, beautiful bath towels, a fully equipped kitchen and laundry facilities. Opening windows allow fresh air through all rooms when you want it. This apartment was re-painted and given a very nice refurbishment recently, and further embellishments including double glazing were added. Welcome tea, coffee, sugar, milk, paper towels, serviettes, soap, shampoo etc are provided.
(Note from the owner: Brunswick with its huge parks is so under-rated. The apartment is on the edge of this vibrant area with all you need close by, yet it is also very quiet inside. A very spacious king bedroom with a bed that everyone loves, and the beautiful old chesterfield lounge chairs make it a very comfortable place to stay).
NB: Many of our apartments are pet-friendly!
Nearby in Sydney Road, you will find an interesting selection of colourful shops, cafes, restaurants, supermarkets, ATMS etc; all your everyday needs are catered for. Long term stays are also welcome. There are plenty of bars in the area, and a lively music scene as well. For more great restaurants and cafes visit Lygon Street in East Brunswick, only a short stroll away. The area is among the best-served by public transport in Melbourne.
Princes Park Motor Inn, also known as the Best Western, and the Vibe Hotel, formerly in Royal Parade, are no longer operating. StayCentral is now the only four-star, self-contained accommodation provider in the area, that has a 125% Satisfaction Guarantee.*

“Comfortable tasteful apartment in a good location in Brunswick”
It is in front of the tram stop, close to the famous Sydney road shops. We were happy to find Netflix available to wind down in a cosy spot at night. The car park spot was a bit tight but manageab… More

Response from the owner Thank you for your review Tamilla. I'm so pleased that it was comfortable and convenient for you for your longer stay, and that we looked after you well. I'm also glad you found it quiet at night. People sometimes ask about this.

Response from the owner I'm very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the apartment and the location so much. The location is definitely quieter than you would expect, and funnily enough, we have had guests who asked where we have our beds custom-made, because they loved them so much that they went and bought one!___ You are so right about the location, with everything at your fingertips. It sounds like you did get to explore a lot of it.___ I do hope that we see you again, with your returning-guest discount.

Response from the owner It was great to have you back again Dallas. We are steadily refurbishing the apartment actually, with new carpets recently; and we are about the put in a new lounge suite, blinds and splashback in the kitchen. It's a constant process.___ I do hope that we see you again, with your returning-guest discount.

“Staycentral Brunswick”
Comfortable and well located. Presented as expected for price. Required additional deposit for pets which was almost as much as the tariff. This didn't appear to be disclosed elsewhere.
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 Thanks for your feedback Susan. I'm glad that you liked the apartment as well as the location. All our guests seem to enjoy it there.___I agree that the security deposit for pets was not specifically pointed out on the site. Bonds can be increased for a variety of reasons, which is why we state that "We require a minimum security bond of $600". This is why we go through the bonds and fees etc before someone books, to make sure it is very clear, before the booking is made. ___Having said that, I agree that the wording on the site could be better, and I will re-word this section on all sites in the near future so that it is much more clear. Thanks for the tip.___To put the correct perspective on this by the way; the pet stay security deposit was only the same as the normal security deposit. At approximately only 10% of your total accommodation cost, it was clearly not as much as the tariff. I just don't want anyone taking your comments literally. 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.

Response from the owner Thanks for taking the time to put your thoughts in writing Simon. It is a brilliant location isn't it? Everyone makes similar comments. In particular also, we sometimes get enquiries about possible noise, so it's nice for people to see your comments about how quiet it is. We have many returning guests as well as guests who extend their their stays significantly, so it is clearly a quiet spot at the back of the complex; especially with the double glazing. I'm pleased to hear that we made the process so easy for you. It is one of our main goals of course. I do hope that we see you again. If you would like to try somewhere else for a change of scene, we have 26 different locations around inner Melbourne, so there is plenty of scope for variety. I look forward to assisting you next time. Regards, Chris McDonald, StayCentral Melbourne Corporate Apartments.
