We had a great time at Jared and Kristy's place! In a quiet but central location, just opposite a beautiful park and five to ten minutes away from tram stops on the edge of the free tram zone (perfect for other areas we visited... the CBD, the botanical gardens and St Kilda). We walked to Fitzroy too, really not far.
Apartment was clean... And beautiful! Really elegant.
Jared and Kirsty left some delicious cereal, coffee and snacks for us which was a great touch... Plus all basic kitchen stuff was there. We also did some laundry (we were on a long trip!!) just the 'hall' which was very convenient.
Only small negative was Jared and Kirsty were a bit slow to send us check-in details but all resolved the night before we arrived.
If in Melbourne, we would stay again.
