I heart Melbourne: carparks and footpaths
William and I went back into the city today to go check out these student apartments we're thinking of moving into. We had a choice between Global Village and Unilodge on Swanston, but were leaning more towards Unilodge because its location is as central as it gets.
We get to Global Village and tell reception we're interested in leasing a 1.5 bedroom apartment so she goes and shows us around. The place was tiny! It was like a small studio with two small bedrooms in it, no formal dining area, some sort of "seating" area that was supposed to be the living room and a new buidling that was being contructed would soon obtruct our view and block all sources of light. No thanks.
We walk over to Unilodge on Swanston street and tell the reception we're interested in leasing an apartment. She shows us around a hotel room in the building that has the same layout of the place we would be leasing. It hadn't been housekeeped yet, so it was quite messy. But it was sooo spacious. And it had two REAL bedrooms, a living room, full kitchen and it was great. We put down a deposit and signed the contract in two shakes of a lamb's tail. The apartment building is right next two Melbournce Central which doubles as a major train station and the Melbourne's largest shopping mall. The best part is that it's right in the middle of everything cool, hip and fun. It doesn't get anymore downtown that that.
I heart Melbourne!
