Great host, good communication and easy to deal with. Very clean and nice apartment. The central location was what we needed and it was perfect for the Aus Open (would be same for anything at the MCG too).
The apartment is in Ione's back yard and the privacy is ok, with access via a side gate. There wasn't air conditioning while we were there, however it is due to be installed soon.
Overall a very good option for a wknd in Melbourne.
