I got to experience Melbourne's lifestyle outside of the CBD and to explore the thriving culture of Brunswick because of Julie's apartment. You'll find exciting places to shop and eat along Sydney Rd and if you want to explore farther afield, you'll find a tram line and train station close by. There is even a bus stop right outside Pottery Court. It is very easy to get around.

Everything that you see is what you get and much more. I found the apartment well appointed, clean and tidy, tastefully decorated and quiet. I keep coming back to the word thoughtful, Julie has gone out of her way to ensure that your stay is comfortable and relaxing.

As others have mentioned you'll really appreciate some of the thoughtful decisions she has made to provide extra sheets, towels, pillows, basic groceries and amenities like an iron. After a hectic day at a conference, I felt like I was coming home every night. I used my phone as a WiFi hotspot for my iPad and had no problem connecting to the Telstra 4G network. If internet access is something that concerns you Julie has made arrangements for people with laptops. You just need to open her very useful guide books and follow her instructions for the appliances around the apartment. She's also included reviews of local places to eat and drink.

I had a chance to do my laundry before I left for home and that made a real difference on my trip back home (a little note let me know about the extended drying time, so I wasn't caught out -- again, really thoughtful). This apartment will suit a short sojourn or an extended stay in Melbourne.

This was a very smooth, stress free experience for an AirBnB newbie: Julie's daughter met me at the apartment, handed over the keys and showed me around the place. I had numbers to call if anything went wrong (it didn't). I would highly recommend staying at Pottery Court, if you're after a unique stay and look forward to returning in the future.
