Darren's place was exactly as shown in the pictures. It's a fairly spacious studio with the lack of lifts balanced by a lovely views and lots of light out of the window. The studio is bright and perfect for a week's stay. Definitely appreciated the cereal being provided in the cupboards; there are also some lovely cafes and bakeries nearby.
The studio is set in a posher part of Melbourne so you're surrounded by gorgeous houses. It is a residential area so it's very quiet and peaceful. It's about a 20-25mins tram ride to the main city centre (depending on traffic) but the tram stop is 30 secs walk from the apartment block front door so super convenient. Trams run about every 5-10mins. It's also about 15mins tram ride to Chappell street which is another great district for shopping and cafes and restaurants.
Darren was very communicative and gave us clear directions for getting to the apartment.
All in all, great stay!
