We had a great stay in Chris's place. His communication was excellent and check in was easy with good instructions.
The apartment had everything we needed and we were well located for enjoying the Collingwood area. We're walkers, so it was also a great location to walk into the CBD and to other areas like Richmond or to the Melbourne Museum. It's very close to Smith Street, so it doesn't take long to get to where there's plenty of night life, pubs/bars and restaurants.
The bed was firm which is what we like and the shower was hot and strong.
There are stairs to go up, so be aware if you have trouble with those for carrying suitcases, but it was fine for us.
Nicely appointed and very clean, the apartment was very suited to the type of getaway we were after.
