We stayed at Steve’s place for a two week work trip. Steve was very responsive and easy to communicate with, for check in/out and when a light bulb went out in the place. The apartment is as advertised in the photos and the location is excellent, right in Port Melbourne and close to the running and biking paths. It is also clean and quiet and with strong enough WiFi to do work and web meetings.
What would make it a better value and easier for future guests: more amenities (soaps, toilet paper, paper towels, laundry soap, etc for a two week stay with two people). I had to purchase quite a bit. Also, there is no indoor table seating - there is one outside on the porch, but that doesn’t work in winter. There is a small bar with three stools, so seating and eating options are quite limited. There wasn’t any Foxtel or Netflix, so come prepared with your own accounts or laptop/hdmi projection cables as well. There is a DVD player but no dvds. We were likely staying in more as we were there for two weeks, but useful info for future stays.
