Carol’s place is wonderfully located in about a 1 minute walk to tram and bus spot so you can get to the CBD in about 20 mins on the 58 tram line. I stayed here for a semester for school and loved every bit of it. It had everything I needed, except for a rice cooker but you can easily get a cheap one from BigW if you are staying for a while. Only thing I would like to point is that it can get quite loud when trucks/motorcycles are passing along the road beside the apartment. Aside from that, I would definitely recommend Carol’s place to future travellers to Melbourne.
