I have nothing but positive things to say about our stay at Kate's Melbourne apartment. This was my first experience with an airbnb let and it exceeded my expectations all round.

Kate and her husband Jim met us on the afternoon of our arrival, we were a little bit late arriving in Melbourne because of an earlier delay but Kate was very flexible and accommodating. They showed us around the smashing little apartment and made us feel very welcome.

The location is great; right in the heart of Melbourne, very close to Chinatown and close to lots of transport connections. It's on a nice quiet street in a really good apartment building. There's a pool and a laundry in the building, although because Melbourne has so much to offer and so much to do, we didn't have a chance to use them!

The apartment itself is lovely. It's small but perfectly formed. Plenty of room for a couple and it was spotlessly clean. There's a little kitchen and bathroom (great shower) and a double bedroom with enough space to store all your stuff. The room is really nicely decorated (very hip!) and the bed is very comfy. The room has a good Wi-Fi connection and a big TV. Lots of leaflets and local information available also.

All in all our stay was excellent. If I stay in Melbourne again, or if I have friends and family visiting Melbourne, I will be checking to see if Kate's apartment is available. Top marks. Highly recommended.
