We enjoyed a Friday to Monday stay at Katy’s hide-away. We arrived early, forgetting to call from the airport with an ETA. It was raining when the taxi dropped us off. A call to Katy and she was there in 5 minutes or less. Thank you for that! Mick and Katy weren’t going to use the studios that day so we got in before lunchtime. She showed us around and gave us advice on dining, catching the tram, the QV Market, and had brochures covering other Melbourne attractions. The kitchen was well equipped, the bed comfortable, and the shower refreshing. The entry into the lane is a little sketchy with graffiti (not the artsy kind) but it is well lit at night. We were comfortable walking it at night but wonder if women traveling on their own might not be. Over all we’d highly recommend Katy’s place. Easy walking distance to QV Market which is a must see place and from there you can catch the free tram to anywhere in the CBD and the magical wharf area. Ask about the evening “fireworks” along the wharf. Amazing. Again, thank you Katy for your help and making your studio apartment available to travelers.
