Haydn was a professional and accommodating host who is clearly committed to offering the highest possible quality airbnb experience.

In terms of specific pros and cons for the apartment:
Pros:
- very, very clean (and I have high standards)
- nicely and tastefully decorated. If you've ever walked through an Ikea showroom and wondered what it would be like to live there, here's your chance!
The apartment is in a high-end neighbourhood which feels safe when walking home alone at night
- very well equipped kitchen. I was able to prepare simple meals with the utensils, pots, pans, etc. provided
- 3 minute walk to trams which take you to the CBD
- nice neighbourhood with a couple of great little coffee shops close by
- the bedroom is very bright
Cons:
- If you are someone who is accustomed to central heating, insulation, double glazed windows, etc, you will likely be cold there in winter. There is 1 small wall heater in the lounge for the entire apartment. Haydn kindly provided a 2nd heater which definitely helped, and I was there when it was colder than normal in Melbourne, but it took a few hours of both heaters running to get the apartment to barely 20 degrees. Morning get-ups were very frosty indeed, but I'm a North American spoiled by central heating, and the like!
- The apartment living area is quite dark, owing both to the direction in which it faces and the fact that you need to keep the blinds drawn as the walkway to the other units in the building passes right in front of the lounge window. This is not a fault of the apartment, just the way the building is designed, as noted previously.
- The apartment overall is fairly small and the bedroom is very small. There is no space for a bedside table, reading lamp, etc. and it's difficult to walk around the bed.

As you can see, there are definitely more pros than cons. Overall, it was a good Airbnb experience and I recommend Haydn as a host.
