I had lived in Melbourne for many years before moving to another city so Karen's place offered the ideal opportunity to return over the Christmas period.
Karen's studio apartment in Exhibition Mews is in the very heart of Melbourne, directly in front of the beautiful and historic Carlton Gardens. It benefits from being within a short walking distance of the CBD and of lively Lygon Street, both are full of restaurants and retail for all tastes.
Karen's description of the studio was accurate but, more importantly, she was great to communicate with and was also responsive and polite. Her instructions to enter the studio and what to do were clear and easy to follow. During our stay, unfortunately, there was an issue with the air conditioning but Karen quickly responded and did her upmost to provide a solution. I really appreciated her focus on making the stay as easy and enjoyable as possible.
My family and I would definitely return, as Karen is a great host and the location is ideal.
