We enjoyed staying at Georgette's place very much. Before I expound on the positives, let me point out the one negative: it is about a 3 flight walk-up (stairs). If you can deal with that I think you will love it, if that is a problem you should probably look for another place.
With that out of the way, let's talk about what we liked. The neighborhood of Carlton is a good one. A short walk to dozens of restaurants and cafes, predominately Italian but not all. There is also a grocery store about 3 blocks away. The Melbourne Museum, one of the best we have seen, is also only a short walk away. The nearest tram stop is about one block, and the free trams in the city center are only 4 blocks.
The flat itself is roomy and comfortable. It is also quite secure, as the building has a secured entry door.
We were a family of three and did not even use the upstairs area. There is a roomy deck, but it was a bit cold to use during our visit. Plenty of heaters were available to keep us warm during the 'cold blast' that occurred during our visit (come to Pittsburgh in January and we will discuss cold blasts).
We were left with a few food goodies to get us started, and we had a nice chat with Georgette's mum, who was charming. If you cannot tell by now, we heartily recommend Georgette's place.
