Astrid's place is a studio apartment in a heritage building that is in an amazing location in the very centre of Melbourne's CBD. Close to Bourke St Mall, Fed Square and all the sights. The Brunetti cake shop is a 1-minute walk away, as are all the little cafés in the Centre Place laneway. Tram is just out the front door.
Check-in was easy and Astrid was great to deal with. The apartment is pretty spacious for a studio and has everything you need. The main thing to be aware of is that it has no AC. I arrived on a cold day and Astrid showed me the heater, which was fine, not sure how it would be in hot weather.
The apartment is also somewhat noisy, it has heritage windows that look great but are not good at blocking noise. There's a restaurant downstairs so it's not loud noise like a pub etc but I'd take earplugs for sleeping.
Despite that, the apartment is good value for such an amazing location and Astrid is a great host.
