This bnb is really wonderful but it was not until we were sent a photo of the tree in front that we were able to locate it as the street numbers did not seem logical to us. The host, Tara, was very helpful and available by phone when we needed her.
This is a modern flat which is very well set up and spotlessly clean. The directions for how everything worked were detailed and easy to understand. They were also easy to find in the living room. The bedding was very comfortable. We were amazed by how many items were available in the pantry for our use. It meant it would have been easy to put together some meals. However, given how good the local restaurants are, an excellent one just two blocks away, we did not cook more than breakfasts. There was a grocery store about three blocks away which had all the basics.
The location in terms of public transport is excellent. There is a frequently running tram less than one block away. This tram goes to the Zoo and Queen Victoria markets before going further afield. It was easy to transfer to another tram to get to the CBD. There is also a bus within easy walking distance going to Sydney Road.
We had a car during the time we were there. We never had any problem in parking on the street in front of the unit.
Windows could be opened, and it was lovely sitting with the door to the balcony open. When we required it, the air conditioning was excellent both for warmth or cooling.
It was great to have a large washing machine and dryer available for our use.
The only thing I would have any hesitation about it is that there is no handrail for the internal staircase. It was a little nerve wrecking for older people going down the stairs with luggage.
In my opinion this is an excellent value air bnb and we will try to book it again if we return to Melbourne.
