James' place is a perfect location for exploring the Melbourne CBD and surrounds. The apartment is well-designed (beautiful floor-to-ceiling windows) and had everything I needed for my stay. After an initial key exchange that was a bit tricky, everything else was smooth.
Two things to be aware of:
1. The dial on the oven has all the numbers/images rubbed off, so using the oven is a challenge.
2. The aircon is in the main room, not the bedroom, so it got a bit hot in the bedroom, but only on the very hottest days--generally it was fine.
