Communication with the host was great, replies were so fast and all questions were answered. The actual apartment was comfortable to stay in, with king-size beds, a comfortable grey couch and good size TV for a movie night. The balcony and one of the bedrooms had great views of Southbank. However, the bathroom lock doesn’t work too well, found it difficult to lock the door. The apartment's level also had a really bad smell ~ almost like a curry but that had gone off. It was in the hallway and the apartment, but once we aired the apartment, we couldn’t smell it as much, only when leaving and coming into the apartment. The location was also good, a 5-10 minute walk to the southern cross station and a tram stop right outside, which was very convenient.
