On our sixth trip to Australia using St Kilda, Melbourne as our base and we finally found our home away from home. Nestled on a quiet corner looking over the botanical gardens our new home had all that could be asked for. Comfortable bed, well equipped kitchen, lovely new washroom area with heavenly shower. Close to trams and Balaclava train station (yes we did go to the beach at Sandringham] and the 96 light rail to the CBD..We were greeted with a bottle of wine, fresh fruit and breakfast provisions for the next day. Unfortunately we were not able to meet our host Jan in person but my wife and I felt that we already knew her. We will definitely contact Jan again for our next visit to St Kilda.
