James's apartment is exactly as it says, only steps away from Chapple Street, the train station, trams and many shops, cafes and restaurants in this vibrant suberb of South Yarra. It would be hard to imagine a better location. For us, having a Woolworth supermarket only a short walk away was a real bonus.
Communication with James both before and during our stay was excellent. He was always very quick to reply to any questions we had. The check in process was using a lockbox to access a cover all key card. It was very comprehensively covered by words and photographs. The check out was just the reverse of this.
The apartment is not large but the excellent use of space made it perfect for one or two people. The bed was very comfortable and bathroom had a great shower. All the facilities worked well and a good supply of toiletries, clothes washing liquid and dishwasher tablets helped to make our short stay a good one.
A few practicallities like more cutlery, glasses, mugs, etc, would help with the daily routine of breakfast, lunch and dinner and cut down the need for regular washing up.
There is a reasonably sized balcony but the view is not that inviting as it look out quite closely across at the balconies of the apartment block behind.
Overall the photos in the listing do show the apartment pretty accurately. It was clean an bright and offered us all we needed for our all too short stay.
Oh, and by the way, make sure you check out the wonderful cafe opposite, Two Birds One Stone, great coffee and food.
