We stayed at Anne's place for 10 days and we were very comfortable.
The apartment is a short walk from the beach and the trams.
The use of the pool and outside BBQ is great for using if you don't want to eat out or want a lazy day!
St Kilda is only 5 minutes on the tram, you will find a good assortment of eaterys there.
The tram ride into CBD is about 20 mins tram ride and you have a choice of 2 trams!
If you like to ride bikes the cycling paths are awesome and recommend the MSAC pool for swimming!
