Kristy and Jared were great hosts right from the point our stay at their lovely studio was confirmed. The apartment was beautifully furnished, purpose-built and true to the pictures advertised. As we were travelling with our 1-yo, they were kind and thoughtful to set up a porta-crib, a high chair and even a baby bath tub. The guest book provided much needed information and tips on where to eat, places to visit and shop. Location-wise, Carlton is great if you wish to be near central Melbourne but want a quieter neighbourhood to live in. Kristy was very prompt in responding to my queries - before, during and even after our stay. They were also very kind to hold all our bags (no joke, they were heavy!) after we've checked-out. Overall, we loved our stay. :)
