Overall, this is a classic case of “location is everything”—commuting, grocery shopping, and social costs are almost minimized, making it ideal for University of Melbourne/RMIT students who want to spend more time on studies and internships. However, you’ll need to accept that the Studios are on the smaller side, there is CBD noise, and shared areas may require queuing during peak hours. Melbourne Central Station is right downstairs, and the La Trobe St tram stop is just outside the entrance. It takes about 5 minutes to walk to RMIT, and about 15–20 minutes to walk to the University of Melbourne, or just a short ride by tram within the Free Tram Zone. Behind the building is Melbourne Central shopping center (with Coles, Asian supermarkets, and KT Mart on the basement level), and QV (Woolworths) is across the road. Queen Victoria Market, the State Library, and Chinatown are all within a 10-minute walk, so you won’t need a taxi for late-night food after class or weekend grocery runs. The Studio has clearly defined functional areas and is sufficient for one person, though it is indeed not large. The bed, desk, kitchenette, and bathroom are integrated into one space, while the floor-to-ceiling windows offer great high-floor views. The 45th-floor gym, 44th-floor sky lounge/cinema, and 12th-floor terrace BBQ area are all great photo spots. The unit has wooden flooring rather than carpet, full air conditioning and heating, and the Wi-Fi has been tested to be good enough for online classes and streaming. The downside is that the cooking space in the Studio is compact, so you’ll need to open the window if stir-frying heavily or cooking strong-smelling food like luosifen. Some rooms facing the corridor may hear doors closing, and the room door sealing is average, but the exterior wall soundproofing is decent.

It's quite nice, the remarks say that the rooms requiring no obstruction are all met, and the large floor-to-ceiling windows offer a decent view. The common areas are okay, and the apartment occasionally holds events. The room has flooring instead of carpet, which is something I'm quite satisfied with.

Pretty good. Fully equipped with an excellent location, situated in the heart of the CBD. It’s close to Coles and the station, and very suitable for living alone. There is a gym on the rooftop where you can focus and improve yourself. The stove is sufficient for cooking your own meals.

The environment is great, and the staff are very friendly and responsible. Maintenance is handled quickly, receiving packages and other services are very convenient, and there are plenty of activities. The only downside is that the rent went up after living here for a year, so I’ll reluctantly move out next year.
