This apartment has the best location, right in the middle of everything. Our host met us and walked us into the apartment. The apartment is very small but clean and well decorated. The apartment was missing some linens , and the host showed up at our door with them about 10 min after I messaged him.
However, this apartment really isn’t set up to accommodate more than 4 people. We were charged extra to have the pull out sofa made into a bed for a 5th person, yet there was only seating at the table for 4 people, 4 bowls provided etc.
Finally, communications, both live messages and written documents in the unit, gave strong indications that any minor wear and tear from our stay could result in an additional charge. As a result, we were constantly attentive to any mess the family might create and never felt comfortable. There are many other listings in the Melbourne CBD and we will be looking at these other options for our next stay.
