I booked Gwen and George's place for 2 reasons: one was the convenience (the apt is just opposite Southern Cross station and the Airport Skybus terminal) and the other, the incredible view from the room. neither of them disappoint!
had a really comfortable stay in the well-appointed room, and the ensuite came with various amenities like towels, shampoo, soap and a hairdryer. just to note that the room gets really hot when the sun sets! so be sure to lower the blinds if you happen to be there in the late evening or before you leave for the day.
Gwen and George also left some recommendations of their favourite eateries - be sure to check out Higher Ground around corner of the complex, on Little Bourke! the area has lots of eating options and there's also a shopping complex with a Coles just across the street. the tram stop to the city is not too far away either, and you can loan a Myki card from them.
there's also access to the complex's pool and gym - what's not to love?
Liaising with the hosts is also really easy.. very detailed instructions! so everyone should be on the same page.
thanks again to Gwen, George and Casper (co-host) for a lovely stay, and hope to be able to stay with you again on my next trip back to Melbourne!
