We stayed at Chris's place for 4 days during a wedding weekend in Melbourne and had a great time. Everything that you would ever need is there, including a fully stocked kitchen, laundry, grill, and a backyard area. The house is very spacious and clean.
The neighborhood is awesome. We enjoyed walking around and exploring the South Melbourne Market multiple times. Instead of being in the CBD, we got what felt like a local experience in a great neighborhood that is walkable to the CBD and is just around the corner from numerous public transportation options. We rode a couple of stops to St. Kilda Pier, and it was perfect.
