The short stay at S&S' apartment was great as the place was very clean and cozy and above all, it offered a gorgeous view of the city.
The location is quite convenient as well as the skybus station is right across the street and it would only take several minutes (within 10) walk to tram stops where you can easily take the free trams to central business areas for restaurants/shopping. There are also quite a few cafe/restaurants within walkable distance as well. There is also a coles right across street where you can replenish food/necessities supplies easily.
The communication was also very smooth and S&S always responded promptly. They were out of town when we arrived hence we were assisted with check-in by their friend Lina who was also very nice and helpful. They've both recommended quite a few nice dining places for us to experience the city better.
Did enjoy the stay in Melbourne and at S&S' apartment. Would definitely choose to stay again during our next visit to Melbourne.
