The apartment is very comfortable and has everything we needed. It was incredibly hot in Melbourne while we were there but with a careful use of the aircon and blinds we survived. All is well stocked with linen, kitchen appliances, washer/dryer and an excellent TV. Parking in the apartment was easy and convenient. Some of the time we used public transport, and while one needs to walk a good block and a half to the various bus, tram, train and supermarket options, they are all excellent options and services and it's not too arduous except when it is 41 degrees in the shade. Overall we could not have wished for more and I can recommend Shanti's apartment. Shanti himself was kind, helpful and always available by email. A perfect host
