Nigel was a great host: checkin went very smoothly, and there where local maps, extra keys, and dinner suggestions waiting for us. Also MYKI-cards: local transport passes. The apartment is even better then in the pics. With the best view of Melbourne. The neighborhood is real cool: Prahran & Chapelstreet is the place to hangout for Straights, Gays and anyone in between. There are plenty of cool boutiques as well as 2 huge supermarkets and the fantastic Prahran market in the block(picture fruit, vegetables, meats, cheeses and speciality food for Kosher, Halal or any eaters at the lowest possible prices: you want to go every day). BCD Melbourne is 20 minutes by tram or 12 minutes by train. But we walked it most of the times: its less then an hour through the botanical gardens. Fabulous stay. I will be back.
