Approaching the property I was a little concerned. The block of older units a la late 50's early 60's were of a depressing orangey brick construction where the corporate body was obviously of a miserly frame of mind. It all looked a little beaten up (not at all Natalie's fault by the way).
BUT, looks can be deceiving!
Natalie's place was beautifully presented, clean, stylish, surprisingly very quiet (with my hearings aids in), and homely once inside. Perfect for one or two people, plus baby. The neighbours seemed invisible, even though they were definitely around. Never saw one! It was a sunny, calming place, with a pleasant and private aspect from all windows with lots of green.
Importantly, security seemed good, with a lockable main door downstairs at the spacious entry area, and double locks on the front door of the unit, plus an intercom.
The laundry was external to the unit (on the same floor), but very easily accessible with a good washer and large dryer. (2 X $2 coins for large wash, and 2 X $1 coins for large dry). So $6 all up.
Best of all was Natalie's fast, effective, and happy response to enquiries , which for me, being somewhat deaf, was particularly important. She communicated very well and promptly. Out of 20+ airbnb experiences, the best I've had for communication.
I should mention transport. Parking seems available at the rear and well away from the street (I didn't need parking). Access to trains and trams is within a 10 minute walk ( less for the train). If you use Uber, that's easily done - there being a good pull up area at the front of the units.
Some minor negatives - Shopping is best done in Malvern via the tram (10 minutes trip). And the unit is on the second level up requiring a bit of a climb. But I'm 70, and it was actually OK. The stairs have good anti-slip trims, and good handrails.
Overall, a very good deal for about $100 per night.
PS. Awesome shower.
