Rob reset the bar for consummate Airbnb host. He was highly responsive and proactive communicating with us, and it was clear that he wanted us to not only enjoy his fantastic apartment, but to get the most out of our trip. He's fun to talk to and is a font of great recommendations for how you might spend your time in Melbourne.

The apartment and location are fantastic. The tram is right outside the door, the Australian open a short walk or a couple stops away, museums, shopping, and foodie delights are all a stone's throw away.

And Rob has done a top-notch job outfitting the place with all the information and amenities we wanted, and he even made a special trip to get a light bulb and decaf coffee capsules despite my sincere offer to pick them up. That might seem like a small thing but it helped make us feel that much more supported and relaxed.

We would stay here again and recommend it to others in a heartbeat.
