The apartment was excellently appointed and very clean and exactly as described. It was also fairly quiet for being between 2 very busy streets. It is very close to Barkly Square with local shops and supermarkets and a park. It is not necessary to have a car unless you want to go out of the city. It is close to Sydney Road Tram 19 and Lygon Street Tram 1 and Nicholson Street Tram 96 (this one takes you to the MSAC & Luna Park). We really felt at home here and completely enjoyed our stay.
