Fantastic location. Fantastic host. Thoughtful amenities. Welcoming space. Darren's place is a little gem in Toorak.
First off, Darren is an amazing host - thoughtful, well-organized and very professional. Every request was dealt with in a considerate and thorough manner. His notes prior to arrival and in the apartment were clear, concise, precise and very welcome.
The location is just off a major thoroughfare, well serviced by transit, yet quiet and residential. The neighbourhood has good restaurants, coffee shops, a grocery nearby and easy access to the CBD and major attractions.
The building is clean and has amenities such as a laundry and a basic gym. The unit is comfortable and is equipped with pretty much you can think of. The space is best suited for singles and couples given its size and layout. Small constraints: (1) If you are tall, using the bathroom sink may require some negotiation. (2) It is not air conditioned, but there is a fan.
Overall, this was a great place for my extended stay in Melbourne. Highly recommended.
