This apartment is in my opinion the best Airbnb space for a single traveller or couple both here in NZ & Australia. The availability of this lovely stylish space will now influence all of my future trips to Melbourne.
I now realise that the parking space in the garage is an extra bonus, hiring a vehicle for day trips out of Melbourne is a real possibility.
I suggest when you arrive go straight to the iconic Victoria Market & fill the fridge with sumptuous fruit & veges, tasty cheeses & crusty bread. A good steak from the Lygon St butchery is transformed by the bbq on the roof. Humble Rays is within walking distance, has great coffee & interesting breakfast/lunches. CBD has a wide range of fine dining evening experiences & the 15-20min walk back to the apartment afterwards ( with a friend) is a good idea.
Heather is a wonderful host & dealt immediately with my minor frustrations with technology whether it be a stubborn washing machine or sulky garage remote. All was handled with infinite patience & humour. The early check-in & late checkout she offered me as a single traveller were very helpful…I hate dragging luggage around a city as international flights never align with conventional check-in/checkout times.
