The apartment is very well situated for all shops amenities of Toorak Road yet it is set back off a side street so is very quiet. I was visiting Melbourne for work and picked the location for its close proximity to the office but I can see how it would also make an ideal base for visiting Melbourne as it is very close to South Yarra station. Inside the apartment there is everything you need to cook, relax and most importantly for sleep well as the bed was comfortable. I think that a lot of thought has gone into making this a fabulous home from home. The linens and towels are of high quality and there was a good choice of tea and coffee and a few breakfast items to get me started. I topped up from a pricey but well stocked grocery store called Gum Tree a few minutes walk away and had a few good breakfasts and dinners at L'entrecote a restaurant near the botanical gardens. I was one of the unlucky ones as whilst i was there in Australia from the UK expecting warm weather it was rather cool and at the weekend it took me a while to work out how to make the air conditioning machine make heat but I succeeded. Hopefully future guests wont need that function, as the apartment is north facing and well placed to be a cool sanctuary on hot days. The best bit was the host Brian who is a kind and thoughtful person and it was a pleasure to have met him.
