If you need a family home (without bringing it all with you) then James’s place has everything you need. We were traveling with our daughter, 7 month old granddaughter and her husband to spend some quality family time with our son and his family who were already here, staying in Caulfield.
In terms of location it was ideal. Just 10 minutes walk from the beach and 7 minutes to the nearest tram and food store. We used the Myki cards, that were provided, extensively. However, we did have a car and were great full that that we had secure parking, out of the sun, so that we could start our days out in a cool car.
A real bonus, if you intend to stay awhile, is the washer and dryer. Though It’s worth noting that if you experience difficulty opening the washer door (greater than 2 minutes after the wash cycle has finished). Then gently lift the door slightly and make sure that you depress the door release lever fully. I did mention to James that guests might appreciate a copy of the user manual. So I sent him a link to it so that he can print it off. In addition, I suggested that bedside tables would make a useful addition to the smaller bedroom and table mats would compliment the table. We have stayed in numerous AirBnB’s and, without a doubt, James’s is one of the best.
