The apartment is in a very strategic location, close to everything you need! It’s in the tram zone, near the CBD, and just a short walk to the Unimelb's Parkville campus. Being only a minute away from Queen Victoria Market is a major plus. For student accommodation, it’s reasonably priced compared to others. Back in 2023-2024, rent was around $300/week (excluding utilities). The studio rooms are spacious for the price and come with a private kitchen and bathroom, which is great for those who don’t want to share facilities. The kitchen uses an electric stove instead of gas, which works fine but can lead to higher electricity bills. The amenities in the room are good—a queen-size bed, TV, study table, and bookshelf—all provided. However, there are several issues. If you’re on the lower ground floor, privacy becomes a challenge because people passing by on the street can easily look into your room, making it uncomfortable to open the window. Worse, rooms on the lower ground floor might be near the garbage room, and there’s a risk of mice entering through gaps under the door. The overall building security could be improved. I had a package stolen from my mailbox, even though it was locked. It seems the mailbox locks are not very secure. There was also an alarming incident where an intruder somehow accessed the building and broke into the washing machine coin storage to steal coins. Lastly, the bike storage room isn’t safe either. If you own a bike, you’re better off keeping it inside your room to avoid theft. Despite these issues, I would still recommend this accommodation for students, especially those who want to save money on rent. It is relatively affordable compared to other student accommodations and is very close to Melbourne CBD and the Unimelb campus, which makes it a convenient and practical option for students :)

*Amended review. The folks at Unilodge dropped me a couple of calls and are tending to my specific needs and issues as per a review where I neglected to flesh out or stress the positives. Upon reflection, living here is a good experience overall and management do their best to make sure their tenants are comfortable.* The good: The unit is fresh, contemporary and clean with a subtle colour scheme. Includes a great bed, furniture, some kitchen appliances, good storage space, balcony, goof air flow, fantastic soundproofing. Powerful little climate control system. The building has good security, is very up-to-date and is in one of Melbourne's best locations if you like a good balance of centrality and quiet. There is a resident lounge with Free Wifi that's a kind of communal study area. The residents here are generally nice, young students. Good building management. The Bad: Small sinks, no oven, poorly designed stove. Slightly cheap feel for price and the single room is somewhat cramped. My apartment is at the rear-end of the building so there's not much of a view or really any natural light to speak of and my balcony attracts a lot of small birds. The wall mounted 26" TV has a pretty heinous picture quality (although it is a nice thought). The two frustrating aspects of the room are 1) The shower only lasts about 100 seconds, impossible to have two showers if I have a friend round for example. 2) The only internet option is Spirit, you have a choice between a $200 Wifi router or plug-in ethernet. Overall, having quickly gotten used to these minor inconveniences, I'd say my experience here has been generally positive. The best aspect is the location. It does, however, ultimately feel like student living and isn't an easy space to make feel like a home.

Amelia is absolutely amazing! Best customer service I have ever experienced. Super polite, enthusiastic and solution oriented. The service here is a hundred times better than other Unilodge buildings thanks to her! Apartment was in great shape when I moved in and the small things that needed attending to was solved in 2 hours by Amelia. She should manage all of Unilodge!
