The three of us (2 x adult, 1 x dog) have spent a fortnight in Julia’s apartment. Initially apprehensive as we had never stayed with a dog in an apartment - usually we stay in places with garden access - it worked out really well. The fellow apartment dwellers loved the dog and we could have hired her out as a companion dog.
Julia’s apartment is exactly like depicted on Airbnb, airy, well appointed and of additional value is the fact that it is located in one of the Gourmet Streets of Melbourne. Within walking distance you have the delicious ‘Sons of Mary’ restaurant, the two hatted ‘Curly Whiskers’ at the entrance to the apartment car park, a kooky wine bar across the road, a good Greek restaurant and plenty of breakfast and lunch places. So you definitely won’t starve living on Martin Street although the apartment also offers a fully equipped kitchen where you can cook your heart out.
The train station is approximately 3 mins walk away and the journey to the CBD takes under 20 mins.
Julia was extremely supportive throughout our stay and although the first couple of days were marred by Julia transitioning cleaners the overall stay was pleasant, relaxing and enjoyable. We certainly will return before the year is out.
