Our hosts Hiona and Bengt made us feel very welcome with the living room already warmed up for our late evening arrival. The apartment was very comfortable and in a very quiet street in the pretty suburb of Elwood. The shops were less than ten minutes walk away and a variety of restaurants not much further on Ormond Road. The train was not much more than fifteen minutes walk. A big attraction of Elwood is the canal which offers a lovely quiet walk away from traffic and numerous parks, plus the beach within walking distance.
