Pet friendly was real plus as we were in town for the tennis. I could see the property was clean & well maintained.

The apartment was very clean and fresh. The staff were very helpful and friendly offering to carry my very heavy suitcase up a flight of steps for me to the first floor.

Thanks guys, I really enjoy staying at Birches. Very much like a home from home, and so convenient to the trams. Now my kids live in Melbourne you will be seeing much more of me.

Great place to stay. Location is close enough to city and public transport but feels quiet and relaxing. Staff are friendly and helpful. Off street parking for peace of mind. I always stay here when I come to Melbourne. Perfect place.

we had a great stay, but it was unfortunate that the occupants before us had smoked in the apartment and the smell was quite strong.

Maree from Melbourne, Australia

Maree Thank you for taking the time to send through your feedback following your recent stay with us. It was very disappointing to hear the previous occupants had smoked in the apartment as, as you would be aware, all our rooms are non smoking and we do offer a designated smoking area for those guests that do smoke. It is unfortunately one of those odours that lingers and is very difficult to eliminate. We do hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back to Birches in the future. Kind regards Alan & the Team

I enjoyed my stay--the staff were wonderful. My only concern was that the unit kitchen cupboard had holes in it thus allowing little creepies to crawl in! May be need an update.

The rooms were well appointed, they did smell somewhat. Maybe leave a bottle of Glen 20. Possibly had a smoker in before.

See my TripAdvisor report for further details. Overall a good experience. Being a travel agent I was surprised there was no avenue to book clients other than via your webpage (no commission or incentive)

Everything seemed to work well except that we had a problem with the hot water mixer in the bathroom. Water either was cold or hot as the mixer didn't work properly.

Stayed two nights in two different apartments. Unit ten first night was ok. Unit 3 second night not so good. Rug badly stained and should be replaced. Bedroom right on street next to traffic lights. Pedestrian ticking signals very loud. Insufficient parking spaces and obviously spaces are sold when there are none. This leads to people parking illegally and blocking access for others.

Parking was the biggest problem compounded by the working being carried out and the number of workman parking in allocated car spaces.Some of these vehicles were oversize making it difficult to get in and out.One guest had an oversize 4WD that caused the same problem.Suggest length limit for vehicles.

Birches continues to satisfy our needs admirably. Location, parking and feeling of "home away from home" are the most important part of staying.

Good spot for our stay in Melbourne. We had an issue with other guests partying until 4:30am on Saturday night. My wife spoke to reception on Sunday morning and the lady (forget her name) said she'd take $100 off our rate for the night. I can't see the money in my account however

Experience was fine. Didn't spend much time there. Apart from Rubbish Bin collection outside our window at 6.30am and someone hammering on our door Sat night at 10.30pm, everything was fine.
