We picked this apartment from the website because we thought it had character, was different and had a good location. We weren't disappointed either, the Moroccan interior design is very tasteful, almost rustic, with great attention to detail and the garden beautiful, with many interesting and exotic plants.
Space inside is good with a very comfortable bed and pillows. The kitchenette is small with limited work surface and does not have any laundry facilities, but is otherwise well equipped. The bathroom is nicely done with stone tiles, fitted with a full size bath to soak in and a good over bath shower if you prefer.
A wifi router is situated within the apartment; we had reliable internet of 36mbps.
The location is spot on. In a leafy quiet road in Elwood suburb, 5 mins walk from beach, slightly closer to St Kilda's Acland St for shops and restaurants than Elwood's centre. It's 10-15min walk to Acland St where you can catch a tram into into the city.
Studio Moroc is a separate building at the end of the host's garden, but it's very private and you do not feel overlooked because of the lush planting in the garden. There are a couple of nice places to sit and relax outside enjoy the beautiful surroundings and listen to the water feature.
Photos of the pool do not do it justice. Slightly heated, the lap pool is wide enough for two to swim seriously if you want to. The magnesium treated water is much nicer than the usual chlorine.
Banu our host was lovely, never intruding but always accessible if you need anything. Very knowledgeable of the locality and can make suggestions for eating out or things to do should you wish.
Luna the family 'Cavapoo' is quite nervous if strangers and will keep well out the way, however if you're dog lovers like us, she will soon make friends and loves the attention and a game or two!
All in all we loved this place, and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We would definitely come back again and have no hesitation in recommending this relaxing gem to others.
