Alex's place is a bit of an enigma. Great location, great views, Alex was helpful with info and check in. But the place is let down by being tired around the edges. Every piece of crockery was chipped or cracked. One teaspoon. No plug for the sink. Four plates , one small bowl (the place is advertised as up to six people), poor pots and pans... the sofa in particular smelt stale. We had a brilliant week in Melbourne, Alex was helpful - but it all would have been improved by a hundred dollars in IKEA before we arrived and some general TLC to bring the place back up to standard and feel like a loved and happy place.
