The building and its location are perfect, with a great gym/lap pool and surprisingly quiet given how lively it is around. The apartment is very nicely furnished: well equipped kitchen, clothes washer and a good-sized sitting/working area. The neighborhood is right in the center of South Yara, 5 minutes walking from the station. In a well-connected city like Melbourne, that's especially an asset.
Elisa was perfect as a host. We communicated well to do the check-in and check-out and she even offered to bring a space heater when it got unusually cold. I thought the place was pretty comfortable temperature-wise regardless.
