We had a lovely 5 week stay at Des's place. I would highly recommend it to others looking for a comfortable place to stay which is well equiped to provide everything for a longer stay. The apartment is beautifully clean, beds are very comfortable with nice quality bedding and pillows. Everything in the apartment is in good working order and well maintained. The apartment is quite spacious and although the balcony is not huge it is big enough to sit out for a morning cuppa. The location is good too, handy for St Kilda and also just a few minutes walk to the tram on Dandanong Road which takes you directly to the city. There is a small local convenience store just a few minutes away. Coles and Woolies are a little further to walk to, but it's a manageable. Des has lots of thoughtful extra supplies provided at the apartment, washing up liquid, loo roll etc - which is really welcome. Des also kindly arranged for us to have an early check in on arrival which was really appreciated. Contact with Des was simple while we were there and he made sure that all was well on a regular basis. I would not hesitate to return in the future. Thank you Des for being a great host.
