This place is not shiny and new but that is no reason to bag it out.. Yes the place has some faults but nothing that really affects your stay. Others have complained about neighborly noise but I must say that we did not encounter any issues during our stay. The place has character and you will be hard pressed to find a better location to stay in St Kilda. Breakfast, Pub, Trams, 7/11 and restaurants are all within 300 meters of the front door.
We absolutely LOVED the space and would book it again in a heartbeat.
