The room was a very generous size, and had a comfortable bed. It was decoratively a little tired, and in need of a spruce up, but it was clean and in a great location. Secure parking overnight for $20 was a good deal.

Last minute overnight stay; staff very accommodating. Shopping, restaurants, and transportation nearby. Excellent location although not the fanciest place, but fine for a quick stay.

It is not easy to find properties that are pet friendly so we are always keen to try them out. Birches Apartment was a good size with a comfortable layout and in a great location close to much of what Melbourne has to offer. The bed was comfortable with good quality Hotel type sheets. Yes it’s a bit tired with the age and style of the building but it’s fairly typical of other places we’ve tried in the past when we need to stay with our two small dogs. The shower was over the bath and bathroom decor is old but shower was hot so that’s great. The initial price given for our stay didn’t mention extra fees for pets and parking so it ended up more expensive than we first thought. I believe the Hotel websites need to be more transparent about extras as some places say “pet friendly - fees apply”and others don’t say this but still charge extra. Makes it hard to compare properly. The parking area was good in a secure location and close to our apartment (message property to check prices). As we take great care of anywhere we stay, it would be much fairer to take a bond for pets and refund if the owners do the right thing…

Loved it

Clean and tidy apartment with everything that you need to a good stay. Close to shops, restaurants and public transport (tram, bus and train). And just 35 minutes walk in to the city this place is perfect. Close enough to the city but far enough out to be quiet.

The location is excellent. It was a bit difficult with a baby and pram and STUFF to be on the top floor with no lift, but aside from that the Birches staff were helpful and accommodating and it's so easy to get everywhere from there!

Have stayed here twice. Great value for money. Clean, spacious apartment, kitchen, lounge and bathroom. Beautiful big windows! On site parking right at the door and an outdoor area with bbq. The staff are so lovely and accomodating-early checks ins, late check outs and even storing my items safely that I accidentally left behind.

I loved the security entry, the bathtub , the decoration piece in the towels a really nice touch; very clean,and wonderful staff ~ very understanding; bed very comfortable - I slept best I have in a while ~ fantastic that pets are welcome ~ only criticism I have is extra fee for parking when there is a car park attached to property- makes it very expensive when adding this ~ should be included in price ~ other than that I would be back in a heartbeat

Found the staff very friendly and accommodating. Beautiful hot shower and very comfortable bed. Great location to hospitals, city and public transport. The only complaint was the carpet. Alot of stains and needed a steam clean. Would recommend the property otherwise.
