Peter was great to stay with: everything was as described, plus Peter went the extra mile to accommodate my crazy/busy trip, which was really helpful. In fact I ended up extending my stay. The fully-automatic coffee machine makes excellent coffee!

The Grand Central is uniquely beautiful as well as super-comfortable. Despite being so wonderfully central, the double-glazing means a very peaceful sleep (with air con if needed), yet the windows open right up for fresh air whenever needed. The internet is unbeatable; fibre-connected with excellent wired and wireless performance. I also made brief use of the pool, the sauna and the gym.

The other bonuses were Peter's passion for the Grand Central, for Melbourne and his amazing stories about China. Absolutely fascinating. I trust that it went both ways too - I had some great stories too :)

Peter is actually a kiwi (a New Zealander, originally) - and I think it shows. They all seem to be easy going.

This turned out to be a smart choice, and I'd hope to stay again, whether on business or not.
