The photos sold it to me, and the location too! St Kilda was and is a fave area of mine in Melbourne, away from the high rises but close enough to the central area too. Easy public transport links, 10 minutes walk from the Esplanade, good choices of eateries and shops around...Plus your very own Botanic Gardens on the other side of the street! Loved the decor inside and out. And the birdsong. And the scent of the jasmines in the garden. Go, go and see for yourself !
