Sharif’s place is very charming and beautiful and well located for exploring all the cool places that Melbourne has to offer including Fitzroy and the lane ways and rooftop bars of the central business district. His place looks just like the pictures and is very comfortable and well-appointed with a lovely modern feel but maintaining the character and charm of the former stable. Sharif was also a very responsive and communicative host which I appreciated.
The only slight drawback for me was that the apartment did not have air conditioning. It was pretty warm in Melbourne when we were there and the place did get a bit warm due to all the great natural light that it has. We were able to cool it down by opening the large patio door and windows at night so it wasn’t a big issue, but did want to note this as it was a bit warm at times. That said, the charm of Sharif’s place more than made up for this and we had a very wonderful and enjoyable stay.
