The apartment itself is exactly like the pictures, spacious, open and comfortable. It's stocked with all the basics in the kitchen and bathroom. Tucked away on a quiet street but only a couple of minutes by foot to the busy and social Smith Street.
Various restaurants, retail shops and bars to explore. The 86 tram also runs from Smith Street getting you into the CBD within 10-15 minutes. Never had wait more than 10 minutes at a time.
Collingwood is a very cool and funky suburb. Also neighbours to other popular suburbs, you don't have to go into the CBD to get a taste of the Melbourne life.
We dealt with Alex for most of the time who was friendly, helpful and replied quickly to any queries. There is baggage storage available in the CBD for guests if you have a late flight which is really nice.

Recommendations - Have breakfast at least once at the Proud Mary (cafe down the road), great coffee, excellent service and filling breakfasts!
Indulge at Messina, some say it's the best gelato you can find in Melbourne!
Try Viet Street Food restaurant, I'm pretty sure it's fairly new. Very affordable and tasty! Also Shop Ramen has decent ramen for good prices. :)

Only thing I can comment on is that noise does travel throughout the apartment block. Luckily, the neighbours weren't party-goers but there was work being done in the building and it sounded like it was happening inside our apartment. This wasn't too much of an issue as we did spend most of our day out, but a little difficult to get a sleep in. Otherwise I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who was wanting a home away from home.
Added a nice touch to our stay in Melbourne.
