This place is a gem. Exactly as photographed, it is in a superb location, characterful local shops and restaurants right there, easy walk or speedy tram trip (again, right there) to the Victoria Market. Just a little further to the centre city (10-15 mins by tram from the apartment). Also 10 minutes walk to Royal Park and to the hospitals. Perfect place to base yourself in Melbourne if you want to be just clear of the bustle of the city. The apartment itself is lovely, has a little balcony overlooking the tree lined street, set up well for basic cooking (tho' why would you with so many choices a stone's throw away?), and very secure. It is also surprisingly quiet. Allen was a great communicator and very easy to deal with .
