We spent 10 days in Melbourne and stayed in the apartment throughout. Great, great location within a few minutes’ walk to Prahran Market, and lovely cafes and restaurants nearby. The supermarkets were undergoing renovations but we were not super inconvenienced - we were still able to drive in and out with no issue, and you couldn’t hear anything from the flat.
The flat itself is cosy without feeling too lived in, with plenty of pillows and soft touches. We were very pleasantly surprised by the amenities - pantry and fridge were stocked, lots of extra cushions, pillows, and towels, kitchen equipment, cleaning supplies, even a pair of mykis! It was truly a fantastic place for us to base our trip in Melbourne, and we spent quite a few nights cooking dinners with fresh produce from Prahran Market and just chilling out. Do note that the smoke alarm is quite sensitive, so if you are cooking remember to use the kitchen hood and open up the balcony just in case.
What else to say - it was clean, the shower was good with hot water, there’s a fan in the bedroom if it feels too stuffy, there’s a washer and a dryer with detergent powder stocked, there’s a dishwasher again with pods stocked... Door to the apartment is a little unique puzzle that you’ll have to get used to. If you’re driving, note that the car stacker doesn’t take huge cars, and would be great to contact Frank early so that he can show you the ropes. Frank’s really quick with responses and has a lovely pupper too.
I would definitely want to stay at the flat again as it truly felt like a home away from home. It’s been one of the stars of our trip in Melbourne and I honestly miss it already.
