Marina's apartment really lives up to its name. It's exactly as reflected in the listing, and we all felt that it was really cosy. After staying in the apartment for 4 months, we can safely say that the location and amenities provided in the house are really great, even for long-term stay. Marina and her co-hosts are very helpful as well, and even went the extra mile to assist us whenever needed. Even though North Melbourne is considered a suburb, it is still convenient to get to Melbourne's CBD via tram. There are also convenience stores, a pharmacy and eateries within walking distance just opposite the apartment. Thank you Marina and your co-hosts for everything! We'll definitely recommend this place to anyone who is visiting Melbourne:-)
