Eileen was a very thoughtful and generous host. The house is very well located in St Kilda, in a quiet cul-de-sac yet just 5 minutes from an excellent tram service into town. The property is immaculate having just been renovated and extended. It is tastefully decorated with art from Eileen's travels and creative friends, and very comfortable and well equipped in terms of kitchen equipment, WiFi etc. Eileen kindly supplied tram transport passes which we topped up before we left, and shared her food with us as she was away for a few days. She made us feel truly welcome.
St Kilda is good to explore. The beach is clean and good and we saw penguins land and feed their young at the pier one evening.
