The apartment looks very much like the pictures, it is warm, cozy and feels like a home. The beds are comfy, the linens lovely, and the kitchen well stocked, both in terms of equipment (perhaps a new bread knife?) as well as the condiments and basic food stock. The apartment has a wonderful feeling of space and light.
The neighbourhood is an interesting one, perhaps it is almost inner city? or city edge? with the density that that implies. Despite being just a block away from Smith Street, which is quite busy, the street itself is fairly quiet. There are some fabulous places to eat and drink (coffee and wine!) within a 5 minute walk, as is the tram to the city. It's a great location from which to tour greater Melbourne.
Of importance to me, as I was staying on my own in unfamiliar surroundings, was the excellent garage and building security.
Anne was a wonderful host, always quick to reply and very helpful in every way.
I wholeheartedly recommend the apartment and will definitely return!
Thank you Anne and Peter.
