Karen was a brilliant host, and gave us loads of information before we arrived, and even though we didn't meet her personally she arranged for her friend to let us into the flat, and made sure we had everything we needed. There were a few basic items (and some treats!) in the fridge and cupboards, lots of books on the local area and the view was just as amazing as it looks in the photos. The location is great, with doorstep access (trams, cycle hire, walking access) to the CBD and St Kilda and the beautiful park across the road. Highly recommended!
