What a great welcome from the host - met us at the airport and gave us all the information we needed. The apartment was just as pictured on the Airbnb site, with the views quite fabulous. Air conditioning was a welcome relief from the hot Melbourne days, as was the shower which was amazing! Everything you could need was available in the apartment - comfortable bed, wi-fi, kitchen & laundry facilities super too.
We had hired a car and used the car park which was a little fun the first couple of times but once the car lift was mastered was easy. The tram stops right outside the apartment if you prefer to use public transport. We used Uber which was also a good option as we were so close to the city this was also a good option. Parking the the CBD is very expensive so public transport should be considered!
We loved the Bird Basement - a jazz club (check this out for events) and went to the Theatre for the broadway show Kinky Boots. The museum is well worth a visit, and don't forget to go to Brunetti's on Lygon Street. Melbourne has lots to see and lots to do; we will be visiting again in 2017 for sure!
