Ash and his sister Debbie were perfect hosts. They always replied to messages quickly and generally made sure we had everything we needed!

The apartment is awesome - light, modern, spacious and trendy. The kitchen/dining area in particular is fab! And given we were there for 3 months it was wonderful to have a dishwasher, washing machine and tumble dryer.

Balaclava is one of the best areas in Melbourne without a doubt. Glick's for fresh bagels, Batch for brunch/coffee and Rolls for delicious sushi are just a stone's throw from the apartment. And there's the Local Taphouse for beer and chips. And Yo-Chi for frozen yogurt!

Transport-wise, Balaclava train station has frequent trains right to Flinders Street (or Brighton/Sandringham in the other direction), plus there are plenty of trams around too. And Luna Park/St Kilda beach are just a short walk away!

All in all it's a fantastic apartment and great area, and we'd recommend it to anyone!
