The rental apartment is perfect for short or long stays. It is bright, comfortable and airy with all that you will need. I stayed for nearly 4 weeks and used the apartment as a base for work. It is very close to transport towards both the city and St Kilda and the delights of Chapel street are around the corner.
Everything that you will need for a stay is available and for those who enjoy cooking, loaded with kitchen equipment (you may want to bring your own sharp knives - but this is really a minor point and common in airBnB places).
I will probably be back in Melbourne later this year and, if still available, would stay again.
