Month long stay for work

This was a great apartment for my son and I to stay for a month while we worked in Melbourne. The location was perfect. It was walking distance to Victoria University Footscray campus, near restaurants, and two train stations. We felt safe the whole time we were there, and the apartment was comfortable.
