Mark kept me updated right up to the day of my arrival regarding access to the apartment. He even told me about a power outage on the morning before my arrival! His communication is excellent as also demonstrated by the two laminated sheets detailing on how to use things in his apartment and what to see and do around the area.
The apartment itself is what you see in the photos. It's bright, colourful and decorated retro style. I stayed here on my own and it felt cosy like it was my own home. There was plenty of breakfast and snacks to help keep the hunger at bay. It also had brochures and books on things to see and do around Melbourne.
The apartment is situated in a beautiful part of Melbourne. The neighbourhood is trendy and classy. I walked to Toorak Rd in South Yarra and also to the Botanic Gardens. It was a great way to see the neighbourhood. To access public transport it was just as easy. The tram stop is right out the front of the building with trams running past every 15min or less in peak periods.
I had a wonderful stay here and would definitely come back the next time I visit Melbourne.
