I stayed at Kathy's place for my first month emigrating to Australia. I would recommend this place for both long term and short term rentals.
Kathy was very responsive to my questions before I arrived and welcomed me at 11pm when my plane arrived.
Kathy had made sure that I had tea, coffee, bread and milk for my first day and she even lent me her bike and helmet!
The apartment has everything you need for short and long term, comfortable bed, fully equipped kitchen (even with spices), and lovely warm shower.

The area is great, at least 4 great cafes within a 5-10 minute walk, trams and buses very close by.
The internet was also much better than most Aussie broadband I have encountered, which was great for me.
I can't recommend this place enough, Kathy really made my move to Melbourne easier. Thanks.
