We were looking for somewhere cheap, clean and comfortable to stay in for the few nights we were visiting Melbourne, but didn’t want to stay right in the heart of the city. This apartment not only met all our needs, but exceeded them. Situated within a short walk to a good supermarket, Acland Street, and the beach front in one direction, and a few minutes walk to a direct tram line into the city in the other direction, the location was perfect. The apartment itself was brilliantly equipped with a large range of food supplies, all the amenities required and secure off road parking. Although we never got to meet Vladimir or Irene, the hosts were extremely quick to respond and very accommodating. I would definitely recommend this place and hope to return if we ever visit Melbourne again.
