We were warmly welcomed by Neil upon our arrival, and he showed us around and told us about the history of the building. Neil has thought of almost everything and could not be more helpful. It's a comfy and cosy flat, with lovely comfortable beds, a big bathroom, and lots of wonderful artworks, antiques and other objects of historical interest. The view from the bay window is really something. It's wonderfully located close to both Flinders and Southern Cross train stations, Southbank and the casino area are a short walk across the river, and there is a tram stop downstairs. There are also many eateries, supermarkets and convenience stores all around. The only negatives were it got a bit stuffy at night (but then Melbourne was experiencing a heatwave) and the kitchen is very, very tiny. But it's adequate for a short stay when you just need to make breakfast, brew some tea or assemble a snack. If you're sensitive to light when sleeping, bring an eye mask as the bedroom gets filtered light from the rest of the flat, and there are no blinds to the main window so it was a bit bright while trying to sleep. The sliding door keeps out the street noise though, so that's good. There isn't a huge amount of place to hang clothes etc in the bedroom. There is also quite a lot of furniture in the main living area, more than the photo shows, so it's a tad cluttered. You certainly have your pick of chairs to sit upon! But for a short stay this is OK, and is all part of the charm and quirkiness of the place.
