Sharif's place was perfect in every way. It was so beautifully designed and filled with light. The apartment is comfortable and well appointed with everything that you would need in the kitchen and bathroom and so many additional thoughtful details such as several electrical adapters, a juicer, immersion blender and more. One of the things I really appreciated was how impeccably clean it was. I was there for two weeks and someone came in to clean and change the towels and linens one week into my stay. I was also happy to have the use of a washer/dryer. Everything is beautifully maintained and top quality and there are so many thoughtful flourishes and lovely artwork. I didn't anticipate using that beautiful clawfoot bathtub but it was cool and rainy for a couple of days during my stay and that tub was wonderful. I loved the location. It's very close to Carlton Gardens and the main street in Carlton, which was filled with cafes, coffee shops, bakeries, retail shops, restaurants and a movie theater. It was also very convenient to public transportation and within easy walking distance of the CBD and Fitzroy and Collingwood neighborhoods, which were fun to spend time in, but every time I turned into the charming lane, I was so happy to return to such a calm and peaceful oasis. Sharif was a wonderful host. He was always quick to respond and very friendly and helpful. I cannot recommend this place more highly.
