    Excellent stay at 7 on Oakleigh. I travelled with my wife and small baby as I was riding the Amashova cycle race. Communication was great and access easy with safe off-street parking. The location was very quiet and removed from the city but with quick access to the city centre for the race - it is < 5min roll down the hill on the bicycle. The apartment we had was spacious, comfortable and clean, with an amazing shower.
