We really liked our stay in Patrick's apartment. It is very close to Balaclava station which has really nice bars, restaurants and cute little coffee spots. The tramstop is almost in front of the apartment and both tramlines will bring you right to CBD of Melbourne. The apartment is excellent and spacious + there's a nice little garden in front of it. It was always great communication with Patrick, sometimes we had a nice chat with him and he even brought us to our next accommodation, this makes him a really good host!
