Anthony's place is cozy, as advertized. To be sure, it was quite comfortable. There was all the room the two of us needed. The location is quite convenient, just a couple of blocks to the tram stop. And Anthony provided two Myki cards, which simplified matters considerably for us tourists. All we needed to do was top them up ($8/day capped) and we were off to downtown. We were pleasantly surprised to find that Anthony provided a neighborhood parking pass; the parking out front is immediately in front, but time limited without the parking pass.

The apartment, a back yard cottage, is clean. comfortable, and well thought out. There are lots of electrical recepticles, nice in this age of multiple communications devices.

We largely self cater, which greatly reduced our American sticker shock over Australian restaurant prices. For those who don't mind paying, the neighborhood abounds with small ethnically diverse and interesting restaurants. But for us there is nearby Barkly Square, with a Coles, a Woolworths, a KMart and a Safeway. Anthony's cool induction cooktop was novel and fun.
