Such a great location for exploring the Royal Botanic Gardens, CBD and the cool South Yarra district. The apartment was really easy to find and was situated close to both the train station and tram stop for links to the city and St Kilda.
Access is via a key lock box, again easy to find, and it was lovely to be welcomed with a note from Sandy, along with milk and strawberry jam - a nice touch.
The apartment was lovely, exactly as expected, including all necessary amenities - plenty of clean towels, toiletries, and a large selection of tea and coffee.
The weather was super warm when we were there (I'm told this is not the norm in Melbourne!), and whilst the apartment does not have air conditioning, we were able to keep cool with the stand-up fans provided.
The area of Punt Road is quiet, but it was really easy to access the centre of Melbourne, with Fawkner Park nearby, along with some amazing restaurants nearby - I can highly recommend Tall Timber for brunch, The Kettle Black for breakfast and Botanical for dinner or drinks, with lovely views of the Royal Botanical Gardens and an amazing menu.
We loved staying at Sandy and Ange's, and are sad we didn't get to thank them in person. We would definitely stay there again the next time we visit Melbourne!
