Spent 3 weeks in Melbourne, 1 in the CBD (Degraves street) and the other two at Kevin's place in Southbank. The southbank location, while not as close to the action of the CBD, was a very quick walk to Southbank Promenade along the Yarra (literally less than 5min walk) where you find lots of restaurants, talented buskers, and general entertainment - hence, good overall a location.

Kevin was very helpful in explaining the lay of the land, things to do, restaurants to try, etc... and was helpful with any questions (most correspondence via text or email).

The apt. is on the 4th floor and sufficiently large for a week stay. We actually extended a week. We cooked in twice while watching tennis and the kitchen is reasonable for such. The only slightly frustrating aspect was that there is a construction boom in south Melbourne which meant that trucks would start to roll around pretty early resulting in some amount of noise in the morning - obviously this is temporary.
