Grantley's apartment is centrally located and very close to restaurants and the innumerable and amazing cafes Melbourne has to offer. It's also close to the Princess Theatre, so if you're in town to watch Harry Potter, this is a great place in which to base yourself!
From the get-go, Grantley was very easy to communicate with. He checked in with us throughout the trip to ensure all was well. We had come into Sydney much earlier than the check-in time, and Grantley was nice enough to try to accommodate us, though we ended up not having to check in early. He also made some suggestions for places to go. We appreciated his friendliness and commitment to ensuring a pleasant guest experience, and his co-host Nick, who met us to show us around the apartment, was similarly very friendly.
The first thing that hit us when we entered the apartment was the mild, fresh scent. The kitchen was well-equipped, with lots of pots, pans, plates, mugs and cutlery, a microwave and convection oven, a standard fridge, gas cook tops, a toaster, a stainless steel kettle, dish soap and so on. There was also an amazing selection of high-quality teas (which was the highlight of our trip as it was getting a bit cold and rainy) and granola. Grantley also very kindly offered to provide milk. The dining table was fairly large and well-placed between the living room and the kitchen, and the living room was comfortable -- there's a Smart TV, charging cables, a comfy couch, a cheery rug, a unique (and very bright) lamp, and some interesting coffee table books. The bathroom was also very well-equipped, with soap, shampoo, towels, a hair dryer, an air-freshener, etc. The bedroom was furnished with a large, comfortable bed with lots of pillows, two side tables (one on each side) and one main table... and the blankets and throws kept us warm and toasty! There's also a small gym, pool and jacuzzi downstairs which would suit most purposes. The building complex is secure, and the neighbourhood feels very safe.
Overall, a wonderful experience in a centrally-located, well-appointed apartment, which we would enthusiastically recommend. Perfect if you're traveling with a friend or partner!
