Matthew was the perfect host - even though he, himself was away for most of my stay (it was Christmas after all!) Not only was the apartment immaculate, he'd thought of everything - even leaving me a lovely Christmas Present and goodies. The apartment is in a perfect location opposite the most exquisite Botanic Gardens, but also only a stone's throw from the bustling and buzzing Acland street and the beach itself. Matthew leaves you with plenty of information on the local area, what to see, what to do, how to get about - and even gives you a starter Myki for the tram system. He was a courteous, genuine and warm host and checked in with me regularly to make sure I was happy and all was well. I felt thoroughly spoilt and well taken care of. I cannot recommend host or apartment more highly!
