We had a lovely stay with Dorothy in her lovely apartment overlooking the beach. The apartment is beautiful and exactly as pictured (which is not always the case with airbnb). The room is lovely and quiet and has blackout blinds for those wanting to sleep in a little. Everything was beautfully clean. The Esplanade is a short walk away as is the main street of St Kilda with it's large choice of restaurants. Easy access to the tram from Fraser St or The Esplanade will get you to town. Dorothy is one of the most welcoming hosts we have ever met and genuinely hospitable in every way. She was very responsive and easy to contact.
