Ruth's place is location, location, location! In the heart of Melbourne, it's very easy to get multiple trams or walk to the galleries, cafes, theatres and great restaurants. The space is great for one person and a short stay, and it's definitely somewhere that you can use as a base when you explore the city. There is a washing machine and clothes rack so you can keep on top of your laundry, and a helpful extra doona for those cold winter nights. The property is not fully accessible, with 4 high steps to enter the building and then some more stairs from the lift to the apartment door. The apartment itself is comfortable, although it did smell like faint cigarette smoke which was noticeable upon entry. Being such a great location, you do hear street sounds from the bars and restaurants below, but this wasn't a problem for us. There were some little welcome chocolates and a hand-written note from Ruth welcoming us, great wifi and an easy to use TV when we just needed to rest our feet from a big day of exploring! A great stay for those quick Melbourne adventure weekends when you want an affordable place to crash after a show or a big day out at the footy.
