This is one of those apartment that I want both to give six stars to and no stars to.
6 stars because, seriously, this place deserves it. Joanne has gone out of her way to make this apartment enjoyable in every way. The art-deco character of the apartment is very thoughtfully enhanced by the decor and furnishings provided by Joanne. the kitchen is a pure delight in terms of the level and standard of the appliances but also even down to the over abundance of utensils for those of us wanting to cook for ourselves.
The 6 stars also should be awarded because of the privacy of the apartment and the complete quiet of the apartment. The residents of the complex are almost unheard and, once inside, there is no road noise and no knowledge that I'm two streets away from one of Melbourne's busiest thoroughfares.
The NO stars? Simple. I'm selfish! I don't want others finding out about this place so I miss out next time.
You do yourself an injustice by not staying here.
Joanne is a thoughtful and completely hospitable host. Whilst I did not meet her, she went out of her to communicate electronically with me during the stay to ensure that everything was beyond my satisfaction.
