We met Ash's sister Debbie when we arrived who gave us a quick tour and an overview of a map of the area. The apartment is very spacious and in an awesome location - just a short walk to the train/trams and supermarket. The apartment is clean and modern with a collection of vintage touches - very cute. Full kitchen, huge windows, balcony that gets full sun in the afternoon. If you are a particularly large or tall person the shower might be a bit tight, but for the average person it's just fine.
Carlise Street (few minute walk) is lined with neat shops and restaurants/markets and the tram runs right down it to the beach. Getting up to the CBD via train is super convenient as well. The area is family oriented and very quiet, and the building itself is brick so there was no noise from adjacent apartments. Perfect set up for our trip!
