We really enjoyed our stay at Susanne and Darren's place. Its just a two minute walk from the tram stop and South Yarra station. Plenty of restaurants and shops nearby. Great vibe in South Yarra, in my opinion.
Easy check in via lock box. The apartment is accessed via lift on the third floor. It appears to be a residential building with restaurants and shops downstairs. It was always quiet in the unit, dispute the busy location.
The apartment was perfect for us two friends. We utilised the sofa bed which was easy to pull out and very comfy. We found plenty of linen to make it up in the wardrobe. Quality linen and towels. Tea and pod coffee provided which was much appreciated. Bathroom is functional and some lovely toiletry products provided We found the perfume of the air freshner reed diffuser too overwhelming so put it into a cupboard.
It was cold during our stay and the storage heater in the bedroom was useful however it was still cold in the living room. After consulting Darren we figured out how to use the reverse cycle air conditioner which was great and made the living area cozy and warm very quickly. I might add that the air con is probably aged and makes quite a noise. I doubt I'd be able to sleep with it running.
For light sleepers (or those used to dark bedrooms) the blinds in the bedroom are reasonably sheer and the sun lights up the room in the morning. Not too bad in winter but I imagine it would be light very early in the room in summer and probably quite hot too as 1.5 of the "walls" are floor to ceiling windows, could use air con to cool it down though.
Overall we absolutely enjoyed our stay, probably spent more time than most would in the unit as I was unwell during my stay. It was functional and cozy and felt like home. Highly recommend.
