I stayed at John's place for my first trip to Melbourne and can't imagine a better place to have stayed. It was right on the edge of CBD, so it was walkable to all the popular spots without being right in the thick of the crowds. The apartment itself is in an area that blocks the crowds and noise, which was great for some amazing sleep.
John was incredibly accommodating to my flight schedule, the apartment had some of the best amenities I've had at an Airbnb. I would stay here again for sure!
