We are ex-Melbourne residents who were back for a visit and Ben's place was perfect! The location is ideal (with or without a car) - a short walk to all the South Melbourne shops and markets have to offer, a tram stop nearby to go in any direction you wish, a gym to work off a bit of jet lag, a nice pool, a parking space if you have a car, a full kitchen inc dishwasher and a washing machine which is always an asset when traveling. Across the street is the Shrine of Remembrance and the Botanical Gardens where you can walk through spectacular flora, stop for a coffee and scones and even enjoy a gondola ride on the small waterway... what more could you ask for!
