I would highly recommend staying at Kate’s place. The apartment is located in a gorgeous building in a great part of Melbourne. It is a fairly quiet street, but some of the best restaurants and rooftop bars in the city are within a 5 minute walk. The apartment itself is cozy - probably best sized for a couple - but it is very stylish and feels just like home. The apartment building offers a pool and a number of amenities, such as laundry which we used. Kate herself is amazing - she greeted us with snacks and a welcome note. She was also very responsive to questions. Book it!
