We were lucky enough to be one of the first to stay in Cathy's lovely apartment. The area it is in was superb with amazing shops and cafes right on the doorstep.

Getting around Melbourne was so easy from there, which really helped us out, as we only had a week there.

Each of the rooms were of a great size and the central circle table in the kitchen was were we spent a lot of time. The whole flat was spotlessly clean and extremely well equipped.

Our daughter loved the court-yard garden almost as much as we did, with loads useful herbs and lemons.

Cathy was super helpful, meeting us to help with our luggage off the tram and popping past to drop off a parking permit when we hired a car. She even bought new fun kids books for our 16month old, which was extremely thoughtful.

All in all it was a fab base and wouldn't hesitate recommending it to couples or small families, for shot or long stays.
