We stayed at the South Yarra apartment for 3 nights, and really wished it could have been longer. We had a great time. The apartment was perfect, plenty of room, very clean, great views, and most importantly - quiet! We hardly saw anyone else in the building the whole time we were there.
We loved the location. We didn't have a car and didn't need one. Tram and train stops were both a very short walk away, and twice we walked into the city, which only took 35 minutes. There are so many good cafes and restaurants around Chapel Street and Toorak Road as well, and it was also handy to have Woolies directly below the apartments. Having access to the gym too, was a bonus. This is the first time I have used airbnb, and I was very impressed with the efficient, friendly service that I received at all times. I would highly recommend this apartment if you don't want to be right in the hustle and bustle of the CBD, but still close to all amenities.
