Staying at Asanka was very suitable for me and the apartment has everything you need. Since I wanted to see something of Melbourne and participate in the half marathon, the location was perfect. With the public you are very quickly in the city (you can theoretically also walk a bit) and also to the beach there are some options.
The check-in and stay were uncomplicated. Asanka was very friendly and the occupant of the other room was also very helpful and nice.
If I ever come to Melbourne again, this is definitely an option!
