The apartment was great and in the perfect location for our trip to Melbourne for the Australian Open. It only took about ten minutes to walk to the tennis park past the MCG which saved us dealing with busy car parks or crowded trams at the end of play. We were back in the apartment enjoying the Yarra Valley wine and cheese we bought while others were still queuing for the tram! It was also close enough to walk in to the city - Chinatown, Flinders St station and even Lygon st restaurants were all 15-30 mins walk or a quick uber away. There's a great patisserie a couple of doors away which was great for coffee and a 7/11 on the corner.
The apartment is modern, clean and comfortable. One note for people deciding to stay there is that the doors to the main bedroom and bathroom are frosted glass sliding door or shutters so you can hear everything - it's a place to stay with people you already know well!
Communication with Nicole was easy and she was really lovely, always responsive via text/email/phone. There were a couple of small issues which I'm sure will be fixed for the next person - the wifi was a bit patchy (unfortunately we needed it to work remotely while we were there :(, but it would be fine just for general use where you don't have a deadline), the gym and sauna were closed for renovation, the second set of keys didn't fit our apartment door and the house manual was a little out of date. We were a last minute booking though and Nicole was going overseas so we really appreciate how much effort she went to, to help us get settled in.
We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again and would also recommend it to friends and anyone else considering it!
Thanks for having us stay Nicole!
