Facilities: the best gym among all student apartments in Melbourne Internet speed: not great; it often disconnects in the middle of the night Soundproofing: the couple next door gets into passionate arguments Hygiene: the sink in the bathroom is really small Location: the location is good, with a supermarket and an Asian supermarket downstairs. WeMa is right next door, and the city is not far either But comparatively, I feel the Accolade next door is better, with more events, better room types, and cheaper prices. They have studio room types. However, their keys are not electronic, and there are hidden costs: if you lose your card or leave it in your room, you have to pay to get the door opened. Their laundry room is better than Switch’s, and I heard they recently have free laundry cards

My overall stay at Melbourne Victoria Market (Journal Market Way) was quite good. The apartment is in an excellent location, right next to Victoria Market, with supermarkets and restaurants downstairs. It is within the free tram zone and very close to the train station, making daily commuting and grocery shopping very convenient. The apartment has comprehensive shared facilities, including a gym, yoga room, music rehearsal room, vintage-style library, and a rooftop sky garden on the 38th floor. There are also several cafés in the building, making it suitable for both relaxing and studying. The room has great natural light and views, ample storage space, and a private bathroom that offers a high level of privacy. The apartment front desk responds promptly, and building security is well managed.

The apartment is conveniently located, with a bus stop just downstairs, making it easy to get around. There are also small supermarkets and other amenities nearby. The room facilities are complete, and everything was very well cleaned and organized when I moved in. The common areas are tidy, and the internet speed is quite good. However, there has recently been construction near the apartment starting every morning, and the noise is very loud. It would be even better if the apartment could coordinate with the construction party through the relevant government departments to schedule the noisier construction work after 10 a.m. whenever possible.
