This place offered what we were looking for. South Yarra is an interesting area, close to the river, easy to get into CBD and the Monash campus by public transport. The flat is irregularly shaped with a spacious living area and a large bathroom but a smallish bedroom. The area can be noisy in the weekend but the double glazing is remarkably effective. Kitchen is reasonably well-equipped but we had to get a few things such as a sharp knife.
However, if you're looking for the AirBnB experience with an attentive, helpful host who wants to make your stay as comfortable as possible then look elsewhere. They take days to respond and will charge you for anything you ask for (e.g. extra towels as we were staying for a couple of weeks). As a couple we had to resort to always put the single key in the lockbox if one of us went out as the front door could easily shut on you and lock you out. Had this happened the instructions were "to contact a local locksmith". Cleaning had been superficial.
