We stayed for a full week at Annie’s apartment and she was there to greet us when we arrived. The location is terrific - close to everything - and now that the city has created a ‘Free Tram Zone’, so many of the city’s great sights are reachable by tram at no charge at all. If we wanted to go further afield, we often took a free tram to the edge of the ‘zone’ and walked to our destination. Good job Melbourne!

We were a little taken aback when we first arrived to find that there was no window in the bedroom, we both suffer from claustrophobia and like the ability to see out of the bedroom. However, the room is spacious, and the doorway very large, and we had no problems at all. The living room wall is a a complete ‘wall of glass’ making the living room/kitchen space seem almost twice as big as it actually is.

The bathroom is large and modern and we appreciated having a washing machine handy to catch up on our laundry.

Annie is a wonderful host - checking in to see how we were doing and offering lots of ideas on things to see and do. She was away in Sydney for most of our stay - but we look forward to meeting her again when we return to Melbourne.
