This apartment provided ideal accommodation for our 10 days in Melbourne to visit our son who introduced us to the many attractions in and around the city. The location was excellent, being just a 10 minute walk to the Botanic Gardens and only a very pleasant 30 minute walk into the Central Business District with a wealth of shops and restaurants. The sea front at St Kilda is another great place to have a drink, maybe also a meal, on a sunny day, and is only a short drive away. There are restaurants within short walking distance, from the predictable, but tasty, Italian fare to the more exotic, but pricy, French cuisine at Entrecôte.
The property is located in a very quiet leafy street, at the moment only spoilt by building works in some nearby properties. Inside, the box can be ticked for the main essentials of very comfortable beds with clean linen and a well functioning shower. The kitchen is well equipped, if you’re minded to cook, and opens onto a very pleasant garden with tables and chairs to relax or enjoy a meal when the weather permits.
The negatives didn’t detract from our stay as we were out most of the time and these were far outweighed by the positives detailed above. We did find the interior rather dingy during the day with little natural light, and the apartment would benefit from redecoration.
Overall, we were very pleased with our stay and would definitely consider booking again when we next visit our son.
