Melbourne is the first thing that rushes through your body as you enter this fully transformed apartment in the hub of South Yarra. Let's start from the beginning, a sky bus from the airport to the CBD and then the train to South Yarra was a piece of cake and cost effective. Did I mention that it literally took me a minute to walk to the apartment from the station? Because it did! But before I checked in, I grabbed a coffee just around the corner and by corner I mean an one minute walk to some of Melbournes best coffee shops, for me this was Drugstore Espresso. I was met by Brian at the apartment who was extremely accommodating with my arrival time, it was great to get an insight into the history of the apartment too which belonged to his uncle originally, a famous actor. The apartment is more than I could've imagined as the photos do not do the apartment any justice. It has been transformed with no expense spared and likewise with the furniture throughout, even the bedding which was cloud nine! Brian had left me with some staples and more, the perfect touch to an amazing stay. The apartment has everything you could want but please don't sit around the apartment all day, get out and explore (I could've stayed in the apartment the whole time) because let's be honest there is nothing worse than staying away from home in accomodation lesser than your own home. This place did more than hit the spot and I will always return to Brian's apartment for future stays as it is Melbourne through and through. Only a few weeks ago I stayed in the same area in a brand spanking new apartment which describes me to a tee however it had no soul and lacked the culture that Melbourne owns. Brian and his daughter Makala were incredible to deal with on all aspects but the most important, communication. Do yourself a favour and don't stay in a vanilla option, go Melbourne through and through and create your own little piece of Melbourne experience by staying at Brian's apartment.
