Phil was a great host. He provided all the required info quickly and in a friendly manner. The place is perfectly situated in the city center, right next to Flinders station. It is a great studio, as student accommodation rather spacious compared to many others, stylish and well equipped, e.g. giant big TV, big desk, coffee/espresso/chai/tea, kitchen utensils and supplies, bathroom very clean and supplying everything needed. The bed even felt exceptionally comfy for a good night sleep.
In general everything was practical and convenient. Thoughtful touches gave it a very homey feeling.
Things to note are: construction next door, proximity of neighbours, and the city noise. These 3 don't really allow to open the windows. But Phil provided a fan to keep the noise out and the air cool in the summer heat. Wi-Fi was fast too. I highly recommend Phil as host, and this place and as a great city patch to explore Melbourne. I'll be back soon - if nobody else snatches up this great find.
