I really enjoyed the week I spent at Ruth’s place and wish I had stayed longer. The apartment itself is clean, modern, well-equipped, full of natural light, and quiet, despite being a stone’s throw from a busy street. The location was perfect for attending the Australian Open—and would be convenient for virtually any touristic activity in Melbourne, especially with easy access to public transportation (love the tram!) and close to major roads. Having a full-service grocery store around the corner is great for anyone who wants to cook & eat at home, while Swan Street is lined with restaurants and cafes for those who don’t. The washing machine & drying rack are helpful for those of us on long trips. If I ever travel to Melbourne again, I’ll definitely try to reserve this place well in advance.
