Sarah's place was exceptional. We walked in to find a clean, stylish, cosy living space, with awesome views. Inside the apartment, you have access to a huge tv screen, comfy and clean lounges, and a kitchenette that had absolutely everything you needed to make your meals.
The verandah is accessible via the large glass doors off the lounge room. Once outside you will be hit with an awesome skyline, which changes with the mood of the day. Seating on the verandah is ample, and very comfy. We woke up one morning to see hot air balloons flying close by!
The pool and spa (great for winding down at the end of the day, and open from 7am-11pm) are on a lower floor, easily accessible via a great common room, and gym. You can take your breakfast down there and use the amenities, then jump in the pool for a morning swim.
We walked everywhere, there was no need to drive. The apartment is very close to cafes and restaurants. Sarah has a secure car spot you may be able to rent out, but there is 2 hour parking outside if you need it, although you might have to compete with the builders who are working on new apartment blocks nearby! (You don't get bothered by them, by the way, the sound insulation in that place is great.)
Sarah is very generous and has made available everything you need: kitchen appliances, a fan, all bedding, pillows, blankets, towels, and even shampoo, conditioner and shower gel! You don't need to take anything, just clothes and swimmers. It really is a home away from home.
Sarah is also a great communicator, and will get back to you in good time. She is friendly and approachable, which I have not found to be the case for many air BNB owners (generally they just want you in and paying, and they don't want to have to deal with you during your stay). She is the perfect host and will make your experience at South Yarra well worth the stay. If you are considering the value, you will be hard-pushed to find a place that good for the money.
