Malcolm's place is lovely and the location is perfect if you would like to explore the city. It's walkable to almost anything in the city, and failing that, you always have the Melbourne trams.
Checkin/checkout was a breeze and Malcolm was helpful throughout our stay. Malcolm doesn't have a washing machine though, so if you're staying long, the nearest coin laundromat is located just opposite Queen Vic Market.
We drove, so parking was a bit of a pain though in the city and quite dear. But we knew that before we arrived so it's just a hassle moving the car around the city for the most optimal parking spots. If you're staying in the city mostly, ditch the car - there are other options such as Uber and public transport that can take you to most places around the area without costing you an arm and a leg.
Thanks again Malcolm!
