We stayed at Charlie's apartment for 10 nights and had a great time using it as a home base while we explored Melbourne. Ivanhoe is a nice, quiet area with good grocery stores and restaurants nearby. There is easy access to some beautiful parkland along the Yara river within a 10 minute walk, and the train into the city is also very close. The apartment was fairly tidy and comfortable. The kitchen in particular was well equipped. The wifi was great which is always a big plus. Charlie was easy to communicate with and we had no issues with check in or check out.
