The apartment was perfectly located and very lovely. It's just as nice as the pics, and Desiree was the perfect host. The neighborhood is wonderful, and the guidebook Desiree provided was very useful. Definitely go to Messina at least once for gelato (we went twice). We also loved the ARTERY gallery, and bought some nice gifts for friends back home and even a cool painting that I could carry on to the plane. Overall a great experience and a perfect spot to end our trip to Australia in style.
