I was in Melbourne for a conference at the Showgrounds, and Simone's apartment was the perfect location with 10 mins walk to the venue, and 2 mins walk to the train. While I didn't need to use them, Simone had the thoughtfully included a couple of Myki cards, train and tram maps and local information.

The apartment itself while the exterior is a little run down, the modern decorations and homely touches made it a great AirBNB experience. From the blanket on the sofa, to the ample hanging space, and spare toothpaste, the little things make all the difference.

The location is a little noisy with trains and trams rattling by, and people and cars quite close. That's what you get in the city, and the bed was comfortable and warm and more than made up for the noise.

While I wouldn't have previously thought to stay here when visiting Melbourne CBD, if the apartment is available, I'll definitely try and do so next time :)
