this is a really beautiful apartment. you've seen the photos - they reflect the space perfectly. for my tastes it's perfect for a couple or single traveller. you could probably stay there if you're a group of three or four but you'll be on top of each other.
angeline's communication all the way was quick and clear. check in was a breeze.
style-wise it's definitely on of the nicer airbnb places i've stayed in and the floorpan works so easily. the kitchen is a great size and it's easy in which to function. there's plenty of staples in the pantry, and everything you need insofar as pots/pans, plates, glasses etc etc. a very comfy lounge to plonk on and watch tele and a small round table to eat from.
the bed in the loft was comfy and there's a large walk-in wardrobe with plenty of storage space. the stairs up to the loft are a little tricky - they're steep and quite narrow. going up is reasonably easy but coming down you just need to be careful. as the toilet is downstairs, it means navigating that steep stairwell in the middle of the night.
the bathroom space is a little tight, but it's beautifully finished. the loo is kind of crammed in between the shower and the wall, but on the upside if you happen to fall asleep there you'll be propped up quite easily.
there's a tram stop right outside the apartment - the #12 which goes through the city. fitzroy street is a few minutes walk and there's an abundance of restaurants, pubs and cafes. there's a woolworths supermarket an easy five to ten minute walk away too. location-wise it really ticks all the boxes.
my only real criticism with this place is the building in which it's housed. i love the floor boards, but i'm not a fan of the apartment above also having floor boards. one of the occupants above loves to stomp around the place. it's not that big of a deal except on a sunday morning when it started around 6am. you can also hear people in other rooms, but admittedly in a group setting when noise is naturally elevated. i think it's important to clarify that those issues wouldn't stop me returning but i think they're worth mentioning.
