Eliisa has a lovely flat in a fanastically central part of a wonderful city and was a great host. I spent about four weeks here in January 2013 when I had just moved to Melbourne and it was a fantastic base. The place is just as it looks and the living room is nice and roomy. Eliisa is based overseas but her parents were around to give me the keys, and were extrememly kind and helpful. Given the central location, you may be wondering about whether the area is noisy. There can be some noise on weekend evenings, but overall it's not a noisy part of town and it's not close to any night spots or that kind of thing.
