We would definitely recommend this apartment. It's like a little oasis in the middle of the city. The apartment had plenty of space for us and our two big boys (10 and 17 yrs) and didn't feel cramped at all. The styling was lovely. The shelves were stocked with DVDs, books, and toys to keep the kids amused. Mark and Kitty were really helpful and their communication was really prompt. Once you walk in through the security doors, you are greeted with a beautiful communal green space with a pool and a tennis court. It really felt like we were part of a community. There is a tram stop just outside , an IGA down the road and a cafe a few metres down the road as well. Mark and Kitty have created a guide book with info about the area such as transport, things to do and see etc which we found really useful as we're not familiar with Victoria at all. We couldn't fault it. We feel like we hit the jackpot with this place and will definitely be staying there again next time we're in Melbourne.
