My wife and I stayed at Allison's upper flat for 2 weeks in November. The photos show 2 apartments (the lower and upper) and the upper apartment is exactly like the photos and was quiet and clean.

The bathroom is large with a strong shower - it's a slightly surreal experience showering almost in the middle of the room! The large bedroom had a big comfy bed (it is on the hard side, which we thought was great but probably not so much if you like soft mattresses). The living room sofa was comfy.

The kitchen is a little limited: it's only equipped with 2 induction cookers, but a slow cooker as well as a small grill appliance are also provided, and there is a good dishwasher. There is no microwave or oven but we managed well for 2 weeks with the equipment that was provided. The basic equipment (pots, pans etc) are good quality and the dining table can be extended.

November in Victoria can get chilly but we were nice and warm in the flat - you have access to your own thermostats within the flat and can control the underfloor heating to how you like, which is great. There is also a washer and dryer available to use. The parking on the street is residents-only, and Allison will let you park in her allocated spot if you ask, so you shouldn't have any issues with the car. The internet was super fast and there was no download limit imposed. It did sometimes slow down in the evenings, so it's probably best do download movies/TV you want to watch in the evening during the day. (the apartment doesn't come with a TV - there is a set of speakers with an iPod dock though) Allison was responsive to our messages before and whilst we were there.

This apartment is a great location to explore Victoria, you can easily walk into town, and there are some bus routes nearby too for when you don't feel like walking. There is a good supermarket less than a block away, and some good restaurants close by. We loved the Greek restaurant on Yates St/Cook St (but you definitely need to book a table, even during the week).

All in all, we had a great time in Victoria.
