Peter has a fantastic apartment inside the period Victorian Railways building, just metres from Southern Cross Station in the heart of Melbourne. I have to say - this is the best AirBnB gig I have ever stayed in. This building used to be the administrative headquarters of the Victoria Railways until it was converted to apartments in the 1980s. Much of the original experience remains. You walk into a grand foyer and up a beautiful circular staircase with period carpet. Then you walk down the red carpet in a wide corridor with a high set ceiling .You feel you are in a palace. Peter's unit is decorated with tasteful furniture consistent with that time. It has a mezzanine with a comfortable bed where I slept and a nearby bathroom that is spotless. Peter is an expert on fire safety standards and a really interesting man. He was very helpful, going beyond the call of duty bringing me cups of tea and coffee. For all this, the cost on AirBnB of a night here is modest. I will be returning here when I visit Melbourne again.
