I had a pleasant stay and the apartment was just as anticipated from the pictures. It was very conveniently located for me to attend a conference at the exhibition centre, and the inner city free tram stops right infront of the apartment.
There was a bit of an issue in key collection as the hosts had instructed to collect it from a nearby cafe which was closed when my sister turned up to check in and Daniel was unreachable. It took 3 hours for them to bring a second key and open the apartment but things were good thereafter. They were accommodating and responsive before my arrival though. The level of cleanliness was not the highest, but it was acceptable. E.g there was an open pack of stale crisps in the room, the throw/blanket didn't look like it had been washed recently, and a few spots in the apartment that could have been scrubbed a bit better. It was not dirty though. It had a bit of a student housing feel. I would stay again if I'm in Melbourne on my own.
