Dinesh’s apartment is really well-equipped with everything one needs for a short or long stay. Two good sized bedrooms, bathroom with bath-tub, spacious kitchen with all amenities, and a sitting room with a large TV that can link to a laptop via HDMI for streaming TV etc.
The location is excellent with a seven-minute walk to Ripponlea station (15 mins to Flinders St), a bus stop about 50 metres from the front door, and a short walk to shopping centres in both Ripponlea and Elsternwick. There’s a small Coles and Liquor Land two minutes away, or bigger supermarkets in Balaclava and Elsternwick.
One tip: the apartment is sandwiched between a busy road and the train line. I found noise-reducing earplugs filtered out all the traffic noise, but then I am particularly susceptible as I usually live in the country.
Dinesh supplied a great ‘starter pack’ including fruit, cereal, milk and even beer! What a host!
