Alison's place is an absolute gem and great value for money. St Kilda is located beach-side so was a relaxing place to stay yet so conveninent to the city - just 15 mins by car. Also near places like the South Melbourne Market and Chadstone - vs. staying in the city.
The apartment's brand new (just like the pictures provided), spotlessly clean and was equipped with everything that we needed - from fresh towels to cutlery to an oven/microwave, even complimentary DVDs. For two person, it was spacious yet cosy. Definitely better than staying at a standard hotel.
Felt like a home away from home. Bed was also a dream to sleep in. Would definitely recommend to friends heading to Melbourne.
