I like the Olson as the room we get is big to accommodate four of us and we love south Yarra. However, there are issues that don’t get addressed. The shower has very low water pressure and the hot water runs out quickly. Also, the air conditioner is very noisy and you have to turn off at night which means the nights get very cold in Melbourne winter. Otherwise, the stuff are lovely.
