I stayed at Sam's place for 3.5 weeks while visiting Melbourne for work. Having lived in St Kilda before, we picked Sam's place based on location, and it didn't disappoint. It's only a couple of minutes walk into the heart of St Kilda and only five minutes to the beach. The apartment itself was clean, well equipped and exactly as shown in the pictures. Sam was really responsive to any questions we had throughout our stay and promised to replace/repair a couple of items - hopefully these will be in place for the next guests. The Vodafone pocket wifi signal was strong, but we did go through the included 50GB quicker than expected so needed to top up more than once. That said, Sam is arranging a new unlimited broadband service, so it shouldn't be an issue for future guests. Overall, I'd recommend Sam's for a central St Kilda stay!
