The location was great! It had a nice view of the river and was close enough to the city. There's a bunch of good food on Toorak Road not too far from the apartment - we definitely would recommend France Soir for a French night out, and 38 Chairs for some good Italian.

Our hosts were phenomenal in making sure our stay was comfortable. Even leading up to our arrival, they did their best to make sure our needs were catered for - we requested for a baby cot, high chair and extra sheets and our hosts were responsive in helping us set that up. They also provided a parking permit (if you drive, we didn't) and a pair of Myki cards for public transport. They also provided a little intro file that contains really useful information for visitors. First day breakfast was provided... while we recommend going out to explore Melbourne's food, it's good to have some good backup in the home when you get hungry.

Amenities-wise, it had everything you would need - dishwasher, laundry (shared facility), fully functioning kitchen, Nespresso machine, chromecast-enabled TV etc. Also, they have a guitalele for some casual entertainment (chords provided)! Overall a great stay!

Only minor downsides: we traveled with a baby in winter and the walk to the train/tram on Toorak was a little far (~900m) on days when the weather wasn't too great, but without the little one, I imagine it would still be a manageable walk. There are stairs you would have to traverse to get up to the main gate, then one floor up to the apartment - wasn't a major problem for 2 adults, a baby, a pram and a luggage; but if you have accessibility issues, you should check with the hosts.
