Vanessa's place is a great option for individual or couples looking to spend a few days in Melbourne.
The location for me was the highlight, being close to many of the shops and restaurants South Yarra has to offer, but also right by the river and the royal botanic gardens (amazing area for a morning run). Also easy was to get around with public transport, since plenty bus a tram lines are nearby and the property is only a short stroll from south yarra train station.
