We loved staying at Ananda's place. The location is amazing, right over the road from the stunning St Kilda Botanical Gardens (we went there every day for picnics and walks!). And St Kilda is as funky as ever.
The apartment has a lovely courtyard, and the kitchen has everything you need.
Lots of street parking was very convenient too (though there is one cheeky spot that is no-standing and we got a fine!)
We hope to stay there again on our next Melbourne visit. Highly recommend staying here.
