Emily's place is in a great location. We got the Skybus from the airport which stops nearby. We were able to walk or get the free tram everywhere we wanted to go. It's a great base for exploring the city. Emily was very helpful and always responded really quickly to any questions. She generously allowed us to check in a few hours earlier which was much appreciated. The apartment itself is a little bare and functional, a few lamps in the living area and maybe a few pictures on the walls would be nice as well as a bedside lamp in the bunkbed room. A second sofa/chair would be good as it was a squash to all fit at the same time (4 of us including 2 tweens) but it wasn't a big issue. The mirrors and glass shower surrounds were very smeary, they had obviously been cleaned but not well, again not a big issue and the apartment was clean. I would recommend Emily's place as a central base for exploring Melbourne.
