We stayed at Alice's place with our 5 year old daughter and we had a very comfortable stay. The apartment is located on the popular Flinders street right opposite the train station and at a walking distance to trams stops. There is Cole's at around 8 mins walk, a metro supermarket even closer. Lots of convenience stores, restaurants and cafes around. The famous Botanic garden was also at about 15 mins walk. Although the building is in the commercial area, but the apartment is located towards the back so you don't get disturbing noise up there.
The apartment is reasonably loaded for a comfortable stay. Kitchen has utensils if you want to cook.
Alice had been an amazing host and always responded promptly to any problems or messages. I would love to recommend this apartment to people looking for a central place to stay!
