A one bedroom apartment located on the South Bank gave us a wonderful opportunity to use the tram and train systems to explore and visit family. The fare free tram zone for the city starts a short walk away. Trams to Melbourne harbor and St. Kilda are across the road. The South Melbourne market is two tram stops away or a short walk. If a location that is easy to travel from is important, this place is for you.
The government owned casino is across the road and provided a good place to walk indoors in very hot weather. Many great restaurants are close as is an IGA only steps away. The bicycle/walking path is across the road by the tram stop.
As Canadians we found a few things about the practical issues of running appliances unique but once we sorted them out with some help from our host we were fine.
Loved the reclining leather chairs, having in unit laundry, the balcony when the weather permitted, a real desk area, the shopping trolley, parking space, and so much more.
Thanks Russell for your hospitality. We hope someday we can return.
