Fabulous experience. Great start to our Australian vacation. Very prime location. Tristan's place is really excellent, just like the photos. Clean, safe and chic building with very cool vibe in the neighborhood. It was a tad loud in the morning as the little walking street where the apartment is has cafes, restaurants and they pull all the tables/chairs at night, then street cleaners seem to come in and then they set-up in the morning. But the benefits of being in that neighborhood and the great apartment didn't make this a big deal at all. And I'm noise-sensitive, so that's saying a lot. Tristan was responsive and while he was out of town, his friend met us promptly with no trouble at all. Would totally stay there again. If staying in the winter, make sure you get instructions on how to get the heat going. It was cold and we couldn't figure it out. Bonus tip: the 35 Tram goes around the city for FREE and you can catch it right outside of Tristan's apartment. Super handy. Wish we would have known how great Melbourne was...we would have stayed longer.
