Before arriving in Melbourne, David and Donna got in touch with me asking when I'm going to arrive to organize the check in, and accordingly they left the keys with a friend at a nearby shop, so they were really flexible with that. Among the best perks are that it's a 5 min walk from my university (RMIT), and even though we shared the same apartment we were actually on different floors, so most of the time it felt like having my own private space. My room was spacious and comfortable. They invited me to use the laundry and kitchen whenever I needed. Overall it was a very nice stay.
