Rob's place is extremely beautiful. It's very new and it's nicely decorated. I think it looks better than the pictures. The toilets are very clean, the towels and bedding are like hotel standards if not better. Rob was also extremely responsive and there was no delay in response and he was friendly too. We needed late check out and he offered us another apartment next door to wash up because the one we stayed in had guests coming over. But we decided not to waste time resting and checked out nonetheless and headed to st kilda's beach for brunch before we head off to the airport. Very kind gesture of rob.
Pros:
1) very clean apartment
2) very comfortable and homely apartment
3) kitchen was well equipped, we cld literally cook breakfast with everything. Nothing is lacking in the kitchen.
4) free coffee capsules, coffee powder, tea bags of various types and even milk is provided.
5) very comfortable toilets that make u feel at home.
6) very near flinders station
7) very near good restaurants around like chin chin etc.
8) for the ladies, Chanel is just behind (3mins walk) and major brands only 5-6mins away.
Con:
1) I can't really find any because it's really one of the better one. If any, I think noise from the train mg be one to consider but it's not mega noisy, it's just tiny bit if u really listen hard enough u mg be woken up but able to fall back to sleep again surely. It's like ure standing outside the concert hall and behind the doors u can hear applause. That's all. And it's not constant only in the day which means it's better not to sleep in when ure in Melbourne anyway. Rob, however did provide ear plugs if ure an extremely light sleeper. Otherwise, it is negligible.
All in all, for sure, I wld be back to stay with rob in abode 316 when I'm back in Melbourne again. It's honestly one of the most comfortable Airbnb I've stayed across different regions.
