It was great to be back at Samir’s light and airy apartment in the heart of peaceful Elwood: perfect for an extended visit. It's very comfortable and hassle-free, and the kitchen has all the pots, pans and plates needed to self-cater. The apartment is five minutes to the tram, about 13 to Ripponlea station with quick trains to the city, and five minutes to the bus to St Kilda. I preferred to walk through the tree-lined streets to the latter, about 20 minutes each way. Look forward to my next visit!
