Astrid is the true definition of host. It is true what the other reviews say about her, she will definitely go out of her way just to see if you got all you need for your stay at her place.
Also she responds quickly and also does check on you as to how is your stay so far. I even accidentally broke one of the glasses and the 1st thing Astrid asked was if i hurt myself. Very thoughtful.
As for the place, it is equipped with everything you need. The place is a bit challenging to find bec i am not familiar with the many 'lanes' of melb cbd. But the loc is perfect! Tram is just right outside and Flinders station is very near if you need to ride a diff train. Groceries are also accessible.
Lots of restos and coffee shops within walking distance.
Definitely deserves a 5 star rating!
