Jinny’s gorgeous mid-century apartment suits my style for a great Melbourne urban weekend stay. It’s a homely and modest-sized abode, equipped with all of the amenities to cook-in and/or hunker down. Nice touches are Jinny’s considered mise-en-plus (a small stack of Virginia Woolf books placed near the loo), items of old-world charm (including a well stocked bar tray table) and eclectic quirks (a small DVD collection of 90s drama). Other ticks, include: a plush mattress with lovely cotton sheets, good water pressure, and a car spot in a secure apartment block. Best of all, you’re conveniently situated in a hip neighbourhood allowing you to "live like a local", and to be spoilt to a great array of eateries, shops and bar—some listed in Jinny’s recommendations became our fave hangout (e.g. Town Mouse Wine Bar and Small Victories café). Lastly, you’re in good hands with Jinny whose efficient, friendly and helpful communication is wonderfully assuring. To coin her catchphrase: “Heav. En.”
