We had a really great time at Joan's Brighton townhouse.
So close to the beach (across the road) and just a 10 min walk to the shops and restaurants of Church st Brighton.
It was nice to be able to sit outside in the courtyard in the late afternoon for dinner. A very modern kitchen served up meals in the dining room at other times.
Having that second bathroom with a bathtub made a big difference when when it came time for bathing our toddler.
We will definitely be coming back the next time we are in Melbourne.
