This place has a great view and is very clean. I enjoyed being able to walk right onto the beach! This might not be a good fit for a long stay as you have to pay to wash your laundry. But they did leave a few things in the fridge like bread, butter and milk for the small cereal boxes they offered - a very nice touch. They even allowed me to check out later, which I really appreciated since my flight wasn't until 5pm. I definitely recommend staying here if you want to have quick access to the beach and boardwalk. St. Kilda is a fun neighborhood in Melbourne. It's a bit more south, but it's only a 30 minute tram ride to the city center. Also, the cafe a couple houses down is delicious and great! It used to be called Cafe Racer and I think it's called Soul Kitchen now, but it shows up as Cafe Racer on Google Maps still.
